I&#039;ve heard of peoples claims to acetone damage, but I think most of time it&#039;s from using an improper grade of acetone.....not to mention improper usage in a gross sense. Justcarl ran his own experiments with acetone and light and he saw no damage....I&#039;m sure he&#039;ll comment. :kewl:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
