MEK= Methyl Ethyl Ketone... If you can get it... I got some stuff from a local fab house but it was very pricey.. They were not supposed to sell it direct to the public. Not sure what it was, clear, colourless and no odour...Applied with a syringe to bond.. I mad a perspex cover to go over the belt drive on my mini mill...Even after years of rough handling it survives the use and abuse of the workshop.. |

Easy enough to buy even now it seems. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone-MEK-1L-can-1-Litre-1000ml-/280930596476?pt=UK_BOI_Medical_Lab_Equipment_Lab_Supplies_ET&hash=item4168c4b67c Thought the 'Elfins had got at it but apparently not .... er .. yet ?? I used to get it quite easily locally together with acetone in my 'long ago' model boat days .. Used for glass-fibre ( fiber for the US folk :wave: ) general purpose solvent. Hmmm glass-fibre .. I remember it well. Webbed fingers, toes , eyelids, bostin' to 'point Percy at the Porcelain' and terrified to go in case I spent the rest of eternity stuck to me wotsit ... :palm: ... made one hull and abandoned the idea ... sloshing about making PCB's is a bit messy but it's got nothing on glass-fibre ..

Dave, When using glass fibre, the real problem isn't getting stuck to the distinguishing mark of your sex; it's the itchy fibres on your fingers. At times like that, having a sympathetic partner around the house can be a godsend. If alone, carefully pull down nether garments and sit on the pot like you did as a child. Ditto if you have been chopping up chillies. Andy |
