Can methylene chloride be used as a paint stripper?

Do you need a license to buy methylene chloride?
No.
Hi I am exploring options for stripping the laquer/varnish from my mid 90's kitchen cupboard solid timber doors. I was wondering if you have a product that would work where I could have a "bath" to submerge the door in, one at a time, and leave until the work is done, then another neutralising bath, perhaps just water, to wash off and neutralise then leave to dry. – Mark
We have a product called methylene chloride which is the base of paint stripper, this can be used in a bath situation with a water blank on top to stop the product evaporating.
It is not an acid so will not need to be neutralised. Use a steel container for the bath.
Excellent service
By: Craig Jacoby on 2 June 2020My first purchase from Sydney solvents was effortless and stress free. Everything from ordering to delivery was very easy. Product arrived in couple of days and I'm guessing in anticipation of not having an appliance to unload the drum from the truck Sydney solvents organised a lift gate truck. Would not hesitate to recommend this company and I will definitely be purchasing more. Thank you for great service.
