    I use Acetone or Lacquer thinner for clean up as the MEK is more expensive.

    Iv'e been using the substitute MEK without much of an issue.
    I never covered and airplane before so what do I know? It's a PITA either way.

    My paint shop cannot source any pure MEK atm so I'll make do. I have one gallon pure MEK in reserve if needed.
    I did send an e-mail to the Poly-Fiber folks for clarification.

    I was told by a reliable source (Detective/nephew) that original formula MEK is used in the process of producing Methamphetamine. I don't think it's illegal in my state but maybe has to do with store policy and perhaps political correctness.

    I can only find MEK substitute. Is that OK to use?
