Look in the Yellow Pages under, Solvents, Chemicals, Scientific Supplies.
Many suppliers of Methylene Chloride do not sell small quantities but may
know who does.  Many years ago there were small operations in most large
cities who would repackage Chemicals in 1 and 5 gal. containers and sell to
the small users.  Spend some time on the phone, since you may find one of
these suppliers who will sell at a much lower price or save you a bundle on
shipping.

If you buy one of the Automatic Sealing Dispensers from Lancair (buy 2 and
have some Acetone to wash brushes with) a gallon of M/C will last a long
time.  Also plan to store the gallon can in the coolest location you can
find, just not under your house or in a refrigerator with food.  The vapor
pressure is so high that it will really bloat a can if it gets warm.

My guess is, Lancair does not use M/C in their shop due to ventilation or
maybe OSHA Regs..

So, how do I use it in the winter with my shop tightly insulated?  I crack a
door, set my 3" Shop Vac (vented outside) Hose next to the part that is too
big to drag outside, hold my breath and throw the used towel 1/3rds outside
asap.  Next morning I run a couple of fans for about 10 min. to get a fresh
change of air without cooling it off too much, gets rid of Epoxy Vapors too.
