I know you said you wouldn't talk about it but, what are the risks involved with MEK? I have just lined both fuel tanks with a liner that is diluted with MEK and the tanks are washed with it prior to lining. The product came in a 1 Litre tin with no directions or warnings on the label. Will I end up looking like Liberace?

Here we have a system called WHMIS WORKPLACE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INFORMATION SYSTEM. Within this system the manufacturer must supply a Label on the product and a Data sheet telling you the lethal dose 50 and associated know risks and proper handling procedures. If you take a small amount from a larger container you must even label the small container.
Again, legally , a supplier must readily supply such information if it is lost or destroyed , and they all do now. So you can contact the company for it or maybe search online for the info.
As a suggestion MOST of this stuff can be safely used with the proper resistant rubber gloves and a carbon filter mask and eye protection. Ideally a chemical resistant smock is used also, so you do not get it on your clothes and then have it sitting incontact with your skin. I think all would recommend a well ventilated area or outdoors also. And label all the little cans so someone doesn't come and think its water or turpentine etc.
