bischoffm Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 As long as you wear the right gear MEK can be used. We have to have a waste stream in place be we can use any of the type of cleaners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinwhistle Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The name "Toluene" is familiar. Does anyone out there remember the name of the solvent we used to strip the paint off the internal wing braces (or what ever the hell they are called) back in 1965? Toluene sounds like the stuff we used. Darn near killed more than one maintainer. Back then no one knew what a carcinogenic was, nor did they care. Just curious as to if it is the same chemical we used..... tinwhistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
