Hi Paul,
thank you for this info, based on this I'm sure
it's in the auto car paint thinner, which I used a lot for cleaning stuff
without a respirator, and cloves hi hi, I know that stuff could give you I
high. Will do some research on the chemical we use here and try very hard
to use protection when using them.

Joel,
It’s name is Methyl
Ethel Ketone or MEK for short. It is what makes some glues dry fast and
it’s also what kids get high on when the sniff glue. Most spray paint
cans have it to help the paint dry faster. It is dangerous
stuff.

Hi
Tim,
What is MEK, I do not know that
product, or what it stands for (MEK) but your experience is very interesting
and encouraging.

Please believe and listen to
these warnings.
Several years ago I decided to
go back to the gym and get back into shape. I went to the doctor for a
physical which included a blood test. As part of the test they look at
two liver enzymes. One of mine was high just outside the normal
range. The doctor said to come back in a month to retest. The
next month the first enzyme went higher and the other one went off the
scale. I had a liver ultrasound which came back normal. He then
ordered a liver Biopsy. Not a pleasant experience!!! The biopsy
came back almost normal other than signs of age and a body that had been
neglected. Each blood test after this my enzymes started coming back
into range.
When I (we) tried to figure out
what had happened the only thing that we could link it to was MEK. I
had just finished building a small experimental airplane that is made up of
aluminum tubing and fabric. All of the aluminum was cleaned with MEK
and the glue contained MEK and was thinned with additional MEK. All of
this work was done with large opening doors and most of the time had a fan
running. Most of the time I did not use
gloves.
The facility I work in has MEK
banned. Not due to my experience but because of environmental
concerns. MEK is great stuff like a lot of other chemicals that we
take for granted. Please use them in accordance with all
warnings. By the way MEK is still available by the gallon at Home
Depot and Lowes locally. I now ventilate the room wear gloves and a
respirator when using this product.
I apologize for the long email
but wanted to warn those that may expose themselves to
chemicals.

More than likely the solvent in
question was carbontetrachloride. That's
what was used prior to my
AF time (starting in 1981), when we used PD-680.
We also had
trichlorethaline and MEK.
Regardless of the solvent in question, if
you like your liver (and other
various parts), you'll wear the
appropriate protective gear, avoid the fumes
and use it properly.
Nasty, nasty stuff. all of them.
