Be VERY, VERY CAREFUL when using MEK as it is a very powerful DEGREASER, and it WILL HURT YOU if you get it on your skin or clothing.
Case in point:
Back in 1970 I was working at a Plating Plant and was checking in a delivery of 55 gallon drums of various solvents and chemicals. Delivery man accidently knocked a drum of MEK off of the elevated lift-gate. The drum landed on it's side, splitting open the side seam and drenching me with MEK. Almost instantly my entire body felt like it was on fire. I ran into the area where all of the big Plating Tanks were and literally dove into the large fresh-water Rinse Tank and began stripping off my clothes until I was just in my skivvies.

Ended up having to go to the Hospital to be checked out. No lasting side-effects, but it sure did hurt when it happened, felt like I was in a blast-furnace.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
