I use lacquer thinner too. It works as good or better than a lot of this other stuff.

I got real leery about MEK after 4 out of about 300 employees got Krohn's or Krohn's related diseases where I used to work. It was used by people on the line for gluing hearing aid top plates to the rest of the aid. The company suddenly stopped using it and substituted something else (I can't remember what). And I have read about what bad stuff it is and I normally don't subscribe to those scary declarations.

One of the poor girls died from the disease. My ex has it but they found a drug that works for her to stop flare-ups.
