When I was growing up (sic), all bug killers had DDT in them and I've seen the damage done by herbicidal defoliants - not sure I'd like to got back to those good ole days, but most of us take sensible precautions when we use such stuff.

Here's a link to Methylene Chloride; been a long time since I did chemistry, so will leave an experimentation to those that know what they're doing.

Oh, and poses the questions as to what does one do with a half empty tin of useless paint stripper, long past return date?
Fasten bra straps and remove dentures...

Starchem Synstrip is about as good as you'll get nowadays. - I'll check mine tomorrow to see what it says the formulation is - they don't say on-line.

I see they get round the European restrictions on the sale of dichloromethane products by only selling it for "adhesive removal".

Just as a matter of information: Starchem Synstrip also contains dichloromethane (and phenol) and is still labelled as a paint stripper and available on eBay. I don't know how the sellers get around the regulations.

I wouldn't know how the two products compare.

This is what you want: http://www.fiddes.co.uk/product.php?nam ... formuladcm. The Fiddes factory is in Cardiff, not far from the boat club, so stock up. I've spent many a dull hour stripping paint off stuff with original formula, just don't get it on your skin, you will soon know about it!

We stopped using nitromors 20 years ago, H.s.e band us from using as it was classed as being a probabble cause of cancer!...
