<p>[QUOTE="ArtDeco, post: 8342704, member: 119259"]Thanks, I know people periodically use acetone because it is a very safe process for your coins to remove the build up of oils, dirt and other particles that are foreign to the metal surface of the coin. Acetone works quickly and disolves quickly so it's easy to use. It also helps remove moisture from a coin which is good.</p><p>Pure acetone that comes in a metal tin is what I use, you have to make sure that even though something might advertise "Pure Acetone" on the label, there might be other chemicals mexed in there for smell ect., check the back label too. Some Nail Polish remover brands that advertise "Pure Acetone" might have those extra chemicals and it's not a great thing when you dip your coin in that stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>I too bake my coins with a heat gun and then apply rennesaince wax, but only on bronze coins because I take no chances with those. Heat will remove the moisture before waxing, this usually suspends the bronze disease process if it is hiding somewhere on the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
