Re-coned a speaker. I was told to use MEK to remove the old glue. Could not find it locally so ordered some via Amazon. Before it came I found some acetone and that worked.

After all is said and done I have 1qt each of MEK, MEK alternative, acetone and naptha. My question now is where the heck do I store these? My attached and detached garages get to 120 degrees in the summer. The Canadian OSHA type site says they should be stored in a dark, cool, well ventilated place and the containers should be electrically grounded.

Other than well ventilated the only place that fits is under the counter in a seldom used bathroom. I live alone and have no pets.

Ideas?

I don't store stuff like that inside the house. Flammable liquid is stored in a ventilated shed 75ft from the house. Flammable gases like propane are stored outside.

Throw it over the boarder in to the US??

:lol:

If you can't store it. Drop it off at a facility that accepts chemicals and paints to be recycled or properly disposed of.

Some local fire stations by me have a drop off for such things.

What about the 120 degrees inside the garage? The external garage has a temp controlled exhaust fan.

Oh, and that is the garage with the Marauder!

Naptha is zippo fluid and Coleman lamp fluid, do you go camping or smoke cigarettes? Charcoal grill? I store Coleman lamp fluid in the back of a cupboard in my kitchen. I wouldn't fret over it personally, keep the lid on it and put it under the sink.
