Look up the packaging/ shipping requirements for international HAZMATs and I'll ship you a case of it. It's flammable, corrosive, and dangerous for skin/eye/lung contact. But it melts the paint away while you watch. A roll of paper towels and a half can had my motorcycle's tank down to bare metal.
Very kind offer - thanks. That sort of stuff would have to be sent surface for sure but that's not the real problem. Dutch customs would stop it from going through because as a private individual I'm not allowed to use it here. You need permits and mates in high places for that kind of stuff here...
