Dick;
I agree-- any organic solvents should be used with caution but they are very
useful if treated with respect. Trichloroethylene is another one that's a
really good solvent but you don't want to bathe in it, either. Stoddard
solvent is another-- the best degreaser I've ever used.
Regards, Neil

Subject: MEK
Just be sure and read the safety warning on the MEK label and follow the
safety guidelines. MEK is some powerful mojo. It ain't like paint thinner!
We used to use it for purging fuel tanks in the AF. The brain damage that
MEK causes if you inhale the fumes is permanent. Each time you use it, it
damages more, never again to be replaced. Really good stuff when used
properly, really bad when used improperly.

Yes, MEK = methyl ethyl ketone. Acetone works, too, but MEK is better. Im
not surprised that you have it.... it's a UK product.
