This stuff has a wonderfully low boiling point of 103F and is used as a paint stripper but I've been fallow.g around and nobody knows what I'm talking about.

Names...
Dichloromethane, "di-clo", methylene chloride, DCM, CH2Cl2

It is extremely dangerous. Ordinary protective gear is ineffective.

It is the major constituent in many paint strippers. Read and believe
the warning labels there

Just exactly what do you intend to do with this stuff? Presumably
you're involved with some aspect of dipping birds if you care about
the low boiling point. Here's the vapor-pressure chart:

Exactly....more along the line of bubbly Xmas lights.  I think I'm just gonna go with some Weld-it 3 from canal plastics...hopefully that's pure enough.

Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
