BE VERY CAREFUL with that stuff. It is VERY rough on your innards(liver and kidneys etc.) if you absorb it through your skin(*and it happens quickly-wear the proper protective gear).One of those chemicals that probably should be restricted use.

methyl ethyl is actually the ingredient for the cookers to make crystal meth!

Thats exactly what it does, first of all it makes you dumb as a cenemt block in sand, then it attacks your kids and liver.

Well, MEK is ONE of the ingredients, actually a solvent used to dilute and extract active ingredients along the process, along with Sodium Hydroxide (Lye), and phenylpropanolamine and some ephedrine from cough syrup. I just don't understand why a person who possesses the knowledge to brew up something that complex in a vacant house kitchen doesn't just get a real job in R&D at Monsanto or Dow and have a shot at a real life.

Cause you cant really get those jobs anymore unless you have a phd. I have a BS in chem and geology. Not to mention probably pays alot more than a real job if you could keep from using your own product.
