Not that you would want to use pure methylene chloride but The UK is
making it difficult to buy paint remover in paint shops and hardware
with it in it

what's supposed to be so dangerous about methylene chloride?

The fumes can kill you.

No they can't.

Yes they can.

I worked in a lab for years that used it and must have breathed in loads.
It's only dangerous if it comes in contact with a naked flame or red hot
surface

That is just plain wrong.

- it's not flammable

Wrong again.

Yes.
