Always wear gloves and have lots of ventilation when working with MEK. Amazing stuff but very nasty.

I have some on some tools and a spot on my car upholstery (I know, I know....) I have little spots of that wonderful product on many things, the tops of my tower boots, a few tools, etc. One Klein canvas tower bag had bottle of it spill in the bottom making a wonderful collection of spare nuts and washers into a mass of goo. I suspect that any chemical strong enough to soften the product, will quite likely also dissolve or destroy the upholstery. I've not looked at the MSDS sheets for it, but the will likely be your best source for which type of solvent will work the best with it. Great stuff, wear gloves.

Re: Scotchkote Posted by: "Eric Lemmon" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wb6fly Mon Jan 7, 2008 7:26 pm (PST) Scott, I think you mean 3M "Scotchkote." I'd try using Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), Acetone, or Xylene. These are all very aggressive solvents, so care must be used in their use. Once Scotchkote dries, it may be difficult to remove. Chemical-resistant gloves should be worn. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY
