Nope thats Methlyethylketoneperoxide, as opposed to methylethylketone.
One won't harden bondo and the other won't dissolve old paint, plastics
and gunge

   Correct, and as a safety note, you want to be real careful what you 
try mixing with MEK Peroxide..  I inadvertenly discovered how to make an 
unbelievable smoke bomb with the stuff, as well as finding that if you 
mix it with brass powder it will spontaniously combust..  Yep, I was 
that kind of 7th grader..

   Plain MEK, should be available in larger hardware stores, or in 
electronics supply stores. (but in small quantities, and overpriced)
