It produces the same symptoms, nausea, headaches, sleepiness, etc. You absorb it through the skin and the vapors by breathing. You must wear gloves that will not pass MC and good ventilation is very important. The warnings about MC are over 50 years old. Yes, it works very well but beware!

Yes, it will dry out your skin if you don't wear gloves. Common sense dictates glove wearing and fresh air makeup in your work area. I used MC for years when I was a synthetic organic chemist. I used it exclusively when I built my LIV. I would not fly in a LIV that was laid up using Acetone. Period. If you still are not convinced, smear some grease or oil on a plate of glass and try washing it off with Acetone, MEK, and then try MC. Nuff said....
