>MC and MEK both are far more effective at cleaning and remove a broad
spectrum of oils, etc. Boeing uses MEK last I heard. 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.
