    You learn something new every day :thumb2:
    I do like EMA Plastic Weld. I also like the VMS cement, both fast and slow versions

      I happen to be on the EMA glue at he moment, it works well.

      I'm not commenting on individual cases, but the government website has this to say about MEK (butanone).

      "Exposure to low levels of methyl ethyl ketone in the environment, as part of a normal diet or through proper use of consumer products would not be expected to cause adverse health effects."

      And for almost all of us, it won't.

      It is not a carcinogen either.

          MEK PAK was my go to for a good twenty five years. Can’t seem to find it now. EMA has very similar properties, but currently I’m using TET, mostly because I had some in the drawer and I find the built in brush helpful. It’s hotter than EMA, but both are good.
