Re: Paint Stripper.
Sorry, I was mistaken. But, at least half right about methyl chloride used as an old time refrigerant. It was seeing the linked names in an earlier (but later corrected) post that prompted my comment.
According to my dad (who came across it in the 1940s), it had a slightly sweet smell! Unlike R12 which was odourless, unless burned! Burning was a sure way to detect leaks before the electronic leak detectors!
