Location: Pigeon Forge TN.		MEK is pretty harsh to the plastic as well as the person using it. Acetone will do the job.

Location: Madison, WI		Looking at the Safety side, MEK worse than acetone. MEK has an airborne exposure limit of 200 parts per million (ppm) where acetone has 5 times that at 1,000. They both have simlar side affects but one in a lower concentration. If you do use MEK be sure to use it in a well vented environment. And try to keep it out of you breathing zone...
