[ARC5] MEK, benzene, acetone for Q dope.

[Bruce Long]

Pee and Poo don't frighten me.  Nevertheless I avoid exposure if I can
I agree occasional MEK exposure likely has very small risk---- but if I can remove pint with something else, I'll use that something else.  If more benign paint removers don't entirely do the job, I get my MEK- and nitrial gloves and work outside- up wind-----

Also EPA has nothing to do with MSDS  

I'm not particularly upset with President Nixon and Watergate----- but HE's the $#%* that created the EPA  I can't forgive him for that

It is true there are some odd results, such as rubbing alcohol in a home bathroom being "unregulated" and an another bottle of the same stuff at work without a MSDS sticker makes the employer selectable to a serious fine.
