Best Answer

Yes, in two ways:

1) It is very flammable and if used improperly it can burn you.

2) It is a poison (it is called wood alcohol) if you drink it it can kill you or injure you. This is why the government put a blue dye in it and give it a funny smell. Do not confuse it with Ethanol which is the alcohol in beer and wine : Meths = CH3OH, Ethanol = C2H5OH.

Are methylated spirits damaging to paint?

Depends on the paint. Enamel and lacquer should be OK for short exposure, but meths has a purple dye added to warn people off drinking it (which makes it taste foul) which may leave a stain on non-gloss surfaces or pale colours. Probably safer using propanol, but see if milder cleaners (Spray-n-Wipe) solve the problem first before resorting to meths. Meths smaller methanol molecules can eat easily into things, so propanol is a safer bet (for example, never use meths for tape recorder heads use propanol instead). Spectacle cleaning fluid is a good, safe, substitute for meths for cleaning difficult marks on most surfaces and is an excellent CD/DVD/Monitor cleaning fluid as well (use the same microfibre clothes used for spectacles and rinse and dry cloth in warm water between uses). As for acrylic paint(water-based) - alcohol will dissolve it, so meths will do a lot of damage.
