Repair and care

Lösit (MEK)

Also: MEK, methyl ethyl ketone, thinner

Lösit is an MEK-based solvent. It is used to clean bonding surfaces and to thin Helaplast.

The Packrafting Store writes that Lösit helps make the glue easier to work and go further. It contains strong solvents: use sparingly, with good ventilation and gloves. For normal cleaning before a repair, spirit or isopropyl alcohol is enough.
