I used up the last of my Circa 1850 stripper and went to Home Depot to buy another jug and they do not carry it anymore.
Neither does Cdn Tire, Lowes or Rona. Is it an environmental thing?
Does anyone know who still carries it? Internet does not show much of what happened to it.
Thanks.

Another one of those things that work, taken away from us ? Grizz

I have a need for matt paint. It seems due to environmental reasons that were not told to us I can no longer have it. If someone know where I can still get colour matched oil based matt paint I'd love to hear from you.
 
I received an email stating that there have been petitions going around to get companies to stop selling products with methylene chloride, and many retailers are feeling the SJW pressure to pull it from shelves. Some parent let their kid drink some stripper, kid died, now eveyone must be parented.
 
Careless parents ruin it for everyone, again. On my last bit of a 4L can! Must replenish supply. When it comes to wood stock finishing, I put that sh!t on everything!!!

I, apparently, can no longer be trusted with oil based paints, paint strippers, herbicides, rat poison that works, spray cans, hand guns, digging a hole in my back yard, home made rhubarb tarts and various other things. Don't believe me? I can prove each and every one.
 
O.K. I have to ask, R. tarts?, the girl just made some, damn good too. BTW, I have small DDT can.

Ask away. Shedden, a dandy little town in SW Ontario, has had a Rosy the Rhubarb festival since before time. The town goes nuts, everything is rhubarb and, best of all, you could buy loads of those delicious homemade R tarts at the foot of almost every laneway. Then a few years back, at the height of the McGuinty/Wynn regulate-and-ban-everything-for-your-own-good days, a health inspector came around and stopped the sale of those tarts because they weren't made to commercial food manufacturing standards and therefore could not be sold to the public. Of course you could still sell them but you'd need three sinks (by regulation) at least 18" apart, a hand washing station, documented proof food was handled by qualified staff wearing latex gloves and hair nets...you know the drill.

The problem has sorted itself out somewhat but it was quite shocking when it happened.
