You *don't* want to get it on you if you can help it. From
the label, it contains methylene chloride (*really* bad for
you), xylene (ditto), isopropanol and the usual petroleum
distillates. But equal caveats apply to just about any
industrial-grade solvents: Use only in a well-ventilated
area and use good-quality neoprene or butyl rubber gloves;
expensive, but durable and well worth the cost. Carburetor
cleaner was at least as bad, and many commercial paint
strippers are worse.
