For many years I've used methyl ethyl ketone (M.E.K.) as a solvent cement for styrene joints. It is very inexpensive and I can accurately control the strength of the bond by varying the amount and timing. A pint can will last me 2-3 years, easily. Recently I noticed it was coming time to get some more. When I went to various hardware stores I noticed they have all stopped carrying M.E.K. and now carry sumething called "M.E.K. Substitute". Has anyone had any experience using M.E.K. Substitute? Does it handle and work in the same manner as the real stuff?
