Methylene Chloride and MEK are classified as Mutanegenic and Carcinogens.
I would strongly recommend having a VERY GOOD fume mask (no beards!) on
when using this stuff, and definitely not to be used in an attached
garage. Have had direct experience with both chemicals back when I was an
engineer. Definitely not healthy stuff! Not saying don't use it, but be
VERY careful when you do.
