[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 817460, member: 112"]Say what you will Thad, but acetone IS known to turn some copper coins all sorts of weird colors. Yeah, I know, you and Dick and anybody else with a chemistry background can spout all the facts and figures and elements and compounds you want - but it happens ! I can't tell you why it happens, I don't even CARE why it happens. It is enough for me to KNOW that it happens. And to pretend otherwise is foolish. And it also happens that your 100% acetone can be contaminated. Yeah, right in the can you buy it in from the store - the one with the label on it that says 100% acetone. I'm not arguing the science with you, you know a hundred times more than I do on that count. But I know what I have seen with my own eyes. I know that many others have reported the same things I have seen with my own eyes. And that is the acetone sometimes leaves residue on coins - and yes, I mean new clean, 100% label right on the can acetone used on the final rinse. It happens. My experience has been that those who do not use the distilled water rinse that I recommend have [U]sometimes[/U] had problems. Those who do follow my advice - have [U]never[/U] had problems. And those who read this - well they can believe whatever they want to believe.[/QUOTE]
