Stripper Outlawed in California...Is It Nationwide?
Perhaps you recall My Date With A Stripper.
I recently learned that methylene chloride, aka dichloromethane, CH2Cl2, is being phased out. In California at least. I learned this at my local Home Depot and Lowe's, looking for some of the good paint stripper. I found a single gallon of the good stuff -- the kind with methylene chloride -- but the clerk wouldn't sell it to me. His register came up with a "DO NOT SELL" when he scanned the SKU.
I went home and googled up the news that the EPA just banned it in March. Stores are in the midst of ridding it from their shelves. Next I thought "what could possibly replace it?" A review of strippers in Chemical & Engineering News confirmed my suspicion. Replacement products do not work as well.
I won't argue with the reasons for the ban -- a great many useful chemicals have been banned for good and bad reasons. But there just isn't a replacement at hand. The EPA recommends upping the grit on your abrasion.
Luckily, I found a pint left at my local ACE hardware and it was marked down!
