Need some Dichlorolmethane - any supplier near Exeter please?
Permalink  

I paid an arm and a leg for a small pot of this stuff to dissolve the remnants of a Petseal liner on a fuel tank. Hardly got the inside of the tank wet let alone go about its intended businessevileye

I need a litre of the stuff but the courier cost for an online purchase is over £20 cry

Is there anywhere local to Exeter that might supply does anyone know please?

Brian

As it's used in paint stripping and prep I asked Scott as that's his background.

He said:

"Allparts will supply something that will work, they do some kick ass paint strippers that will go through a car bonnet to steel in minutes! Get him to ask for Chris the paint man he knows his stuff."

Allparts are on Marsh Barton.

Cheers,
John

Thanks John - will give that a go!

Dichloromethane (DCM or methylene chloride, methylene bichloride) was the active ingredient in paint strippers in days gone by but has been removed from most domestic products for safety reasons I guess. It explains why none of the ones I have bought in recent years work no 

What little fluid I had seems to have done a remarkable job on the resin-based tank sealer used by a previous owner. However, I am sure it hasn't dissolved it all as it was only just enough to cover the bottom of the tank. The Golden Flash tank is quite chunky!

Hope all is well nowadays.
