Default MEK Methyl ethyl ketone.....

I worked briefly in a sheet metal shop and they were using MEK..... not for long...
according to safety manuals there are no barriers that one can wear to prevent the MEK from migrating into your skin.... all work rubber, nytril, latex gloves have a certain degree of porosity and the MEK goes through them.....in fact it is recommended NOT to wear protective gloves as it will keep the chemical in skin contact longer than bare hands were the MEK will evaporate faster.

The gun wash I buy is handled accordingly....and by the way it will desolve 3/4 inch of hard varnish deposit in old CMP tanks.

My preference for diluting OD flat paint is high test gasoline with no alcohol in it.

We wander but it is all paint related.

Cheers
