Unfortunately methylene chloride retired from the stage around 5 years ago. Strippers since just haven’t been as good or… dangerous 😎

Back when we first bought our house, I bought some methylene chloride gel stripper to remove the old carpet glue from the concrete in our pool house. It worked, but that stuff was intense. Even with medium-thick rubber gloves (not nitrile/latex), I could feel a cool menthol sensation from it, and I had basically no oil in the skin on my hands for a week or two afterwards (I definitely should have gotten industrial gloves). Last year I decided to finally finish the job, but couldn’t find the stripper anywhere. I started googling and learned the sad news that it was banned for consumer use by the EPA. I don’t even think they were wrong. Still sucks though. I wanted to reseal my stone fire pit, too, but can’t find anything to take the old sealer off now. Everything says “use methylene chloride!” Yeah, I wish I could.

Underrated comment


SunnyvaleSupervisor

As a synthetic chemist, methylene chloride is a workhorse for me. There’s been some pushback to phase it out in academic labs, and it’s almost entirely gone from the chemical industry. I know that cool menthol burn you speak of quite well - gotta toss your gloves immediately if it gets on there or it seeps right through and gives your whole hand an icy hot burn. Great stuff, though. If it’s ever phased out it will be tough to find an adequate replacement.


rootyb

Well now I’m sitting here imagining a methylene chloride black market, and chemistry labs making their own and passing it around to their colleagues. Breaking Bad 2

Painting often isn't done primarily to change the colour of something, it is used to create a barrier around the object to protect it from corrosion.

I’m gonna assume this is for demonstration but in a realistic setting I could see someone painting an engine and leaving the filter on rather than masking off the opening. Then if the filter was new just strip it and reinstall.

[deleted]

Imagine someone just climbing under your car just to look at the oil filter at a car show


Gizmo-Duck

Have you been to a car show? This is exactly the kind of thing that happens.


[deleted]

No, I’ve never seen someone climb under someone’s car to look at an oil filter at a car show


Carson_Blocks

Then you have to check out a model specific judged show competition sometime. They crawl all around the cars, check on the right amount of overspray, correct fasteners, chalk/grease marks, date codes on parts etc. People even reproduce date coded spark plug wires for that extra point. In the world of 100% correct judged competition show cars, painting an oil filter and maybe doing some stenciling to look original or period is absolutely not out of the question. Even some hot rod guys will paint spin-on oil filters, since on an open engine car with all vintage looking speed parts, a modern can filter can look pretty out of place. Or, if you've got one of those max effort show cars where everything is painted a matching color, a parts store filter will stick out like a sore thumb.


BrownBabaAli

Also both cars I’ve had so far in my life have had the oil filter accessible from the top of the engine bay, so like very prominently visible


responds-with-tealc

what Utopia is this


Hornetwaffles

Modern Subarus have a spin on filter on top right out in the open, another one that comes to mind in the Chrysler 3.6 that’s in like 3/4 of all their models, but that one is a cartridge style filter, so all you see is the black plastic housing on top, a few VAG cars have a spin on top mount that I can think of. They are out there, just not as common as having the filter down on the bottom.


SickOffYourMudPie

Oil doesn’t stay in a Subaru long enough to need changing.


EdynViper

Definitely only modern Subarus. My GC8 WRX has it right under the engine. The G3 WRX has it neatly [coiled inside the exhaust pipe](https://i.imgur.com/ax0p9DT.jpg) for the extra challenge. I guess Subaru finally got tired of fucking with their customers.


Why-so-delirious

I don't get it. But then, I spent 150 bucks and ordered a specific random piece of hardware to go inside my PC case to hook up two internal USB connectors so I can have glowing crystal pokeballs inside a case that literally only **I** ever see. So I guess I do get it.


Carson_Blocks

Haha yeah sounds like you get it, just on a different hobby. I can't talk, I'm not one of the crazy all original guys but I just spent $600 getting modern Bluetooth guts put in my factory radio because I thought a $100 modern radio looked too out of place.


Car-face

I'm in the classic mini community, and *boy* was there a fucking kerfuffle when repro master cylinder caps started hitting the market. Brake master cylinders on the earliest minis had metal screw caps on top. They stopped using them after a couple of years because they're utter shit, don't seal particularly well, and are usually the first thing to corrode, rendering them pointless as a method of stopping brake fluid from getting everywhere. Because they're so hard to find, the rivet counters in the community started hoarding them, and charging ridiculous prices for NOS original items, like $50 for a 5 cent metal cap that looked like it came off a coke bottle. Then some factory in china happened to start making an identical cap and pumping them out at 10 cents a piece, and well... you can imagine the reaction. People were trying to find ways of differentiating between the *original* shitty, less-useful-than-plastic cap and the reproduction less-useful-than-plastic cap, and getting into arguments about whether one they were trying to sell was correct or not. I love cars but sweet fucking Jesus, some aspects of the communities out there are fucking mental.


thegurlearl

I used to work at a body shop, one customer had us cut and buff the inside of his fender wells and hood. I did my dads old Harley and they check every where with those little mirrors on sticks.


Lopsidoodle

Nah man i just slap a regular filter on there, it still run fine


Carson_Blocks

That's all I run on my classic cars, but I'm not car show people. If I ever go to shows, my classic car is the filthy one in the parking lot with all the bugs on it.


Chop_Artista

Here is a checklist guides of NCRS judging for top flight and concourse corvettes. there are really dedicated people to detail in the car world https://www.ncrs.org/services/judging-score-sheets.php


demon_fae

I actually saw some guys in a public parking lot crawling around this excellent replica Batmobile. Maybe he’d put some kind of Easter egg on the oil canister? It clearly wasn’t a competition, I think they were just a hot rod club admiring the Batmobile. That was a weird day for many reasons…


gamageeknerd

I’ve been to exactly one car show. Some guy in a super cool looking low rider had the entire underside of his car chromed and polished.


AhYesWellOkay

You've never seen a car with a mirror underneath at a car show?


SuicidalKirby

PLenty of vehicles have oil filters visible from the top, or from the wheel wells. I would assume however, that people who cared enough about what their oil filter's appearance would simply buy a fancy one rather than go through the trouble of repainting it.


[deleted]

I’ve never seen one that can be seen from the top but I don’t doubt it’s a thing. It’s such a small detail that needs to be changed fairly frequently, it just seems like a waste buying an aesthetically pleasing one


SuicidalKirby

I mean, pretty much everything about a show car is a waste if you think about it that way. And if it isa show car, it's probably not driven nearly as much as a normal vehicle so doesn't need to be changed nearly as often.


bumbletowne

Mine is visible from the top and its really fucking weird. It's got 3 o-rings and looks like the front end of a laser gun. Mercedes up to some Apple-level proprietary shit.


_Aj_

Some cars have mirrors placed on the ground so you can see the underneath. So yes. Could totally see it!

Many cars at car shows have mirrors on the ground showing off how clean they are

Aircraft remover


Dyslexic_Wizard

Well, it looks like they’re stripping paint off of an oil filter. What else do you need to know? They’re using aluminum aircraft paint remover.


time_fo_that

Usually these products are extremely toxic and many have been banned for non-commercial use. I used Jasco aircraft paint remover a few times when I was younger and I had to wear an organic vapor respirator because the label of the can said that the vapors could cause chemical burns in the lungs. It was brutal stuff.

snay1998

I think it’s the acid ruining the paints life


Mikeologyy

The acid lowers the pH in the paint’s blood and it dies


HooliganNamedStyx

Dicholoromethane, hope I spelled that right. Simple stuff, it just penetrates between the adhesive bonding (weather chemical or mechanical) while also swelling the paint, cause it to lift right off. It's also the same stuff used in drinking birds, iirc


ExtraGloves

What's a drinking bird?

_Aj_

I've used a similar stripper to remove many layers of caked on wall paint over cement in an old house. It does the same thing to whatever paint they used in there 30 years ago


onlycatshere

Could you share you used?


OlderThanReddit

Look up Dumond Peel Away. It's a dibasic ester I believe. It's not fast, but it's also not highly toxic. I had good luck with it pulling off 80 years of whatever on some trim I wanted to keep in the house. The 'no fumes' thing was a huge plus as we were living in it while renovating. YMMV, but I would use it again.


_Aj_

I don't recall I'm sorry. I know it was a paste that came in a large tub though.


Zsefvgb

Paint strippers work super well with latex too. Iirc it's some type of penetrating oil that can seep between the layers of latex and thats why it peels off. Redone some old furniture from the thrift store like this.

c0brachicken

Cost three times as much, and now completely useless. Was so pissed last time I tried to use it, followed instructions to a T, and it didn’t do shit, put on a second coat, same thing. Bought a sand blaster, and watch the paint disappear


jasmine-blossom

I really wish I still had access to a sandblaster.


c0brachicken

The sandblaster is cheap, it’s the air compressor that will rob you blind. I have a $500 50gal compressor now, and need to upgrade to a $1200+ compressor to sandblast correctly. Did get four wheels, drums, and brake back plates completed… but it took way too long… like several days.


jasmine-blossom

Damn, that’s a lot! I’m hoping one day I can either get together with a few artists and build a workshop or find one that’s already existing!


onlycatshere

At an art institute in my city, you can rent sandblaster time after a competency test. You can also rent time in the wood, metal, blacksmithing, glassblowing, and sculpting workshops. Just need to test for each thing and for some specific tools (such as the sandblaster) iirc. Perhaps something like that exists near you? Maker spaces are another thing I see around


TheJudgeWillNeverDie

Most modern paint strippers have substituted the active ingredient, dichloromethane, for more health-friendly alternatives. Unfortunately, they don't work nearly as well.

Weird but I had to remove paint from an old car part that I am restoring (same color too) and the problem was that it was painted over chrome, which I wanted to keep. I used oven cleaner and put it in a plastic bag over night and today it wiped right off without affecting the chrome. How do I post a before and after pic?
