Good warning, but I recommend not going near MEKP catalyst without goggles, not just safety glasses. I had a small bottle of catalyst in my hot garage for a few years and the normally soft plastic squeeze bottle got hard and brittle (not sure if from the heat, chemical reaction with catalyst, or a combination) and it shattered like glass when I squeezed it and sprayed me with a very small droplet getting in one eye. Fortunately I was 10' from a sink and I knew of the dangers of MEKP so I was spraying my eyes with water within seconds and got right to an eye doctor and only had a small chemical burn on my eye. A bit more catalyst or another few seconds and I would not still be flying.

One drop of the MEKP catalyst will blind you within minutes, if not seconds... Mark Langford, Harvest, AL
