MEK evaporates fast

Keep the lid on tight or you will another pint next week!

Thanks for the advice, Alan.

Thanks for the advice, Alan. I will make sure the lid is tight!

Big Fan

Gary, I too am a big fan of using MEK!  A friend told me about it several months ago and I've been very happy with the results.  As already mentioned above, keep the lid on tight and use it in a well ventilated area.  MEK has some bad fumes....

MEK applicator

I've been using MEK for a number of years now.  I think I'm on my second quart in 15+ years (the first one got lost to moves and evaporation as much as use).  My favorite applicator is a long handled fine tip artist's brush.  IUt's long enough to reach down in the can and control easily.  The paint comes off the wooden handle pretty quickly, but that doesn't hurt anything.  The bristles hold enough to glue a fairly large area, but release it slowly enough to not leave a huge sopping wet area on the model.  I've assembled pre-painted P2K kits like that, and you cannot tell that the paint was ever touched with glue.
