Since you are likely to be doing epoxy work afterwards anyway you'll need good ventilation either way.< My brother is a chemest for Boeing. He states that MEK is the superior and prefered wipe for Boeing. MC does not contribute to smog as does MEK. Some states like CA do not allow MEK as a wipe thus the requirement for an alternative MC. If you can get MEK, use MEK. Be advised that MC is more dangerious to your health than MEK. I got rid of the MC after I got the above information from my brother and use only MEK. He also stated that he would not keep Acetone in his house due to the extreme explosion hazard should the container fail.
