Just read the blurb on starchem, did you take precautions beyond the obvious gloves glasses and mask? I’d be using it outside a lockup so hope the usual Edinburgh breeze would be enough to save my lungs?

MSDS here.
Dichloromethane was the paint removing solvent of choice in days before anyone cared about or had a Duty of Care for the users of chemicals.
3M know about this chemical and they recommend an airflow face mask.The Starchem product also contains 5-10% Methanol, which again requires a Supplied Air face mask.
I'm not trying to scare you, but the Starchem product is clearly 'For Professional Use' only.
No face mask you can buy at Toolstation/Screwfix/etc will ofer you any protections,
except from liquid splashes.You're a sensible guy, because you've asked for guidance.
Outside you won't be exposed to much, but you will be exposed to vapours,
you will smell it, so you will be exposed.You can assess the risks.

Just glasses and gloves and kept the garage door open.

Langlow Strip Away Pro is OK, a lot better than Nitromors, Starchem is the best in my experience.
