I had a friend who used to do that as a party trick... I thought he was
unique, until now.
On a more serious point, many thanks to all who commented on MEK vs. acetone
- your advice and effort is much appreciated.

Subject: Acetone and MEK
I learned as a teenager how potent acetone is. I had an unmarked glass jar
with acetone in it. To find out what I had in the jar I opened the lid and
took a strong sniff. Instant headache. I use acetone on the Europa only
when necessary and I use vinegar for all my epoxy cleanup. It is cheap and
you can drink it.
Yesterday I bought a Safety Works Respirator. Good for paints, stripping
paint, pesticides/fertilizer, dust, and fiberglass. I used it today and did
not smell anything, it seemed to work well. It is not the most comfortable
mask I have worn, but it works the best. $28USD at Home Depot and it has
replacable cartridges. A small price for potentially flying the Europa for
more years.
