Now, where is that MEK?

First, I must give the mandatory warning about MEK, Methyl Ethyl Ketone. Do
not let it get on your skin, so wear good chemical resistant tall gloves,
and something to protect the rest of your skin. Also use an activated
carbon respirator, in a well ventilated area. It is also very flammable.

The stuff is real nasty, and does nasty stuff to your body. It starts by
destroying your liver, messes with your blood, and the exposure is
additive, so don't let it get at you, to start down that road. It also
attacks the central nervous system, and is a carcinogen. All just
suspected, of course. This is all not to say, don't use it, but do be
careful with the stuff.

I'm sorry if you knew all of that, but someone reading this may not.

OK, that is done. You can usually get it at the larger home improvement
stores, and paint supply houses. It is usually kept around the paint
strippers, and brush cleaners.
