What cleaning solution do you all use in your CMX or other track cleaner? I read the product instructions (chemist note, etc.), but I was wondering what is most popular... Thanks in advance for any advice!

Anyone use MEK (methyl ethyl ketone)? Is this better or worse than lacquer thinner? Do you use multiple consists (CMX followed by a drying centerline??) Again, thanks for your thoughts...
P.S. Here is the link to the pdf from the CMX...it gives some ideas....

I would think that MEK would disolve plasic. Many years ago when I had a 8 mm movie camera, I spliced films using a commercial product that was almost pure MEK. It disolved the two film surfaces so they bonded together, the same way we use plastic solvents to assemble structures. As I remember it, MEK was pretty nasty stuff for one's health and wellbeing.
