<p>[QUOTE="Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2151909, member: 28107"]The time it takes can vary depending on the extent of film, but unlike dipping, leaving it too long isn't going to ruin the coin. Rather, if the acetone becomes heavily saturated with PVC and the like, sometimes the film can be redeposited on the coin. For coins with heavy PVC, I recommend changing the acetone to avoid this. Also be sure to use a glass container; the acetone will melt plastic. You should also cover the top to keep the acetone from evaporating out. It will evaporate quickly and if it does, it will redeposit all of the junk that was on the coin. I always rinse off chemicals using distilled water, but acetone is fairly inert and will quickly evaporate off the surface of the coin itself without incident. Always use acetone in a well ventilated area.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
