No. You need to use cold MEK.





A tech that is 100% toxic is quite different from one than is mostly nontoxic. So no it doesn’t negate the argument.


If 100% non-toxic materials are used for the entire tech, and then at the end it’s washed with MEK, which is somewhat toxic if any remains, then it’s no longer a 100% non-toxic tech. That’s true. However, MEK is found in fruit and people have been having it in their diet for thousands of years. Xylene is not found in food. MEK also easily evaporates away in minutes with no smell left, unlike xylene which can take days to evaporate, and sometimes even after many months there’s still a smell of xylene present. So xylene is definitely a less healthy solvent to use.
