True: as a student I used it to strip the paint/signwriting off a 2500-gallon agricultural fuel-bowser/trailer, applying it with a paint-roller-on-a-broomhandle. It was summer, and so I was wearing only a pair of [nylon] football-shorts. Half an hour later I came out in desperately-itchy smallpox-style blisters, and my shorts looked like they'd suffered a major clothes-moth infestation.

Since then I've used DCM with more respect.
