I think RLM was saying glass can react, and then Jim said some plastics are ok. I use glass for cleaning coins but I feel it may be scratching my coins and my tongs "drop" the coins into the cup sometimes and am afraid the coins are getting scratched but can't tell. Also, any opinions on the reactivity of gloves with the above products. Will latex gloves react with acetone, xylene or MEK? I currently don't use gloves for fear of a reaction, but it is killing my hands. Xylene really frys them and I have been using MEK more as it seems less abrasive and smells less. Thanks for any expert opinions. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
