Ah yes, it was your story that made me aware of that, and to stay well  
clear of MEK.

As you say, wearing a face shield is best. I found them much more  
comfortable than goggles.

For some reason i don't understand faceshields are very rare 'round here,  
they are not sold in normal tools shops or DIY stores or even the  
chemcials shop, while you can buy a variety of goggles at those places.

Not only the vision is better, but it protects a much larger area, no  
chippings in your nose or mouth when you cut something.

I also use it for drilling PCBs.
