I don't disagree. But MEK was used for decades in factories and shops everywhere. No respirator, no gloves, not even a fan before maybe 1980. Stoddard solvent was another favorite.... that was even used for dry cleaning... later replaced with PERC Perchloroethylene (tetrachloroethylene).

All are fine solvents when used by trained personal. None... belong in homes.
