The instructor at our aircraft fabric covering workshop related how the MEK
fumes from the process had accumulated inside the fuselage of the Pitts she
had just finished. She was vacuuming the inside of the rear fuselage with
the shop vac when it suddenly exploded. Yup- MEK fumes in the vac

For the copper washer what you're actually doing is annealing it. Copper work
