True - dichloromethane is supposed to be only used by professionals in a controlled environment by suitably trained and equipped personnel and most suppliers won't supply to the general public

The guidance sheet states that LANGLOW'S 'STRIPAWAY PRO' is only approved for use by suitably trained and equipped professional operators within a suitably equipped working environment, such as a locally exhaust ventilated paint booth, where operators can be equipped with the appropriate respiratory protection to ensure they are not exposed to DCM vapours which are above the workplace exposure.

That said, surprisingly perhaps, it's on unrestricted sale via Amazon at £34.99 for 5 Litres, and from at least one e-bay supplier for £24.99.

I won't give the links, for obvious reasons.

It really is vicious stuff - ride at your own risk!
