The MSDS for MEK is 1-3-0, while the MSDS for Ethyl Acetate is 2-4-0 according to wikipedia. Are you really sure it's safer? MSDS would suggest otherwise.

Thanks for the reminder, I almost forgot to check.
I just took the sample out of the vinegar and the only thing that seems to have changed is the color. The color is a bit more vibrant.
The PLA feels a bit more flexible but it can also be messing with my mind a bit. So lets just say it doesn't really work for what I had in mind. Still I put the sample back in the vinegar and lets see if a few more days will make a difference, I doubt it but since it has been sitting there for 10 days already i might as well leave it 10 more and then make that the final result.
If anyone has other 'safe fluids' to test with then why not give it a try.
Far as I understood acetone only works for ABS but not for PLA
And to be clear i'm looking for a way to soften PLA to make it rubbery so that i can print gaskets from normal PLA and then sotfen it to make it flexible so excuse me if I caused any confusion on this thread about smoothing PLA.
