>Can anyone comment on the _relative_ nastiness of acetone and MEK
A couple of observations:
Acetone is sold (in small quantities) as nail-varnish remover - would
this be permitted if it was lethal?
I seem to remember that MEK was used as a solvent for the adhesive on
shrink-film coverings for model aeroplanes, and that one of the
cautions I saw printed back then was that MEK could cause blindness
if it gets in the eye.
I am using acetone as a brush and scissor cleaner, but I always wear
my (activated-charcoal) mask for all operations involving epoxy,
including cleanup.
