Jerry,

    MEK had been taken out of the aeronautics manufacturing arena, and
    probably for good reason. The first that comes to mind is
    flammability.  That could be followed closely be cancer causing fumes
    and liquids when used and/or spilled or splashed on any part of the
    hand/arm/body. Talk to your chemical supplier (or one of the ones
    listed here) and request the MSDS for MEK. After carefully reading
    (or studying) that document, you just might want to find another
    solvent to help in your shop. 

    Just thoughts from a former aircraft worker (now retired). Jim Good
