Description from the creator

REUPLOADED TO ADD METHANOL SEPARATION STEPS.

In this video I separate DCM from paint/varnish remover using a fractional distillation. You can also separate it via simple distillation if you do not have a column.

I obtained about 260mL of methylene chloride from a bottle of 500mL of gel paint remover.
