[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 3150256, member: 46237"]I always do my acetone soaking inside, that way it's in a humidity controlled environment and you don't have to worry about tiny pieces of debris floating on to the coin. Just make sure you have adequate ventilation. It also helps to soak the coins in sealed containers. Acetone evaporates very quickly so by sealing the container you can do a longer soak. You also do not want to let the acetone evaporate while a coin is soaking because the contaminants removed from the coin will not evaporate and will be redeposited back on the coin. I use this type of container: [url]https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/oxo-good-grips-reg-smart-seal-12-piece-container-set-in-clear-blue/1062309844[/url][/QUOTE]
