MEK is some bad stuff. Government stopped using it after worker died of
liver failure believed to have been caused by extensive use of it.This was
at Red River Army Depot in Texas in the mid-"70's. The stuff stays in your
skin and takes its' time leaving through the pores of your skin. Wood
alcohol worked good for cleaning for me.
