Small world. So does Cycliste, my other half. In Occupational Safety, ironically.
You're right, 10 doors is quite a lot. I've only ever used it on bike frames, where the surface area and the amounts involved are quite limited.
One of my framebuilding books suggests having a trough of DCM available at all times for stripping paint off frames. Not sure I'd be too keen on having that in the workshop 24/7 even with the recommended cover.
Brommers-
I think I have picked up the profession of Cycliste from some of your other comments.
We all accumulate micromorts every day.
@CptnBigNose probably doesn't want to unwind his cycling health benefit on 10 doors.
An infra red heat gun might be a worthwhile purchase.
Trough of DCM!
Urban myth has it, back when the UK had a lot of people employed in chemical processing the associated pension scheme had wonderful benefits, principally because few lived long enough to reach pensionable age.
Carbon disulphide was a solvent of choice back in those days.

I have a heightened sense of Duty of Care.
@CptnBigNose said he had 10 doors, (admittedly only one side per door) to do.
One door outside, yeah, what the Hell we're all going to die of something,
and,
if you're on here the chances are you're healthier than the average.
10 door sides, hmm.
Meths, yep we all have access to it, and the 5% methanol is totally miscible with the 95% ethanol. The deciding factor is the increased volatility of dichloromethane versus ethanol.
