Yes acetone is dimethyl ketone. Both MEK and Acetone are low boiling solvents with low flashpoints. Both will get you unpleasantly intoxicated if you inhale too much, both are likely to be very good at removing skin oils and causing dry skin. My personal preference for cleaning my polyethylene boat prior to applying adhesives is to use drugstore isopropyl rubbing alcohol, it works, its cheap and has a lower probablility of causing the nasty fire, inhalation and skin problems of the other solvents discussed.
