<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 24584692, member: 27832&quot;]I can&#039;t picture a way to do this safely without a fume hood and some serious training.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve boiled acetone before by plopping its container into a bath of almost-boiling water <i>that was heated by something that&#039;s now turned OFF</i>. Even then, though, that&#039;s a quick concentrated burst of acetone vapor, that&#039;s (a) narcotic (in the knock-you-out sense, not the entertain-you sense), (b) super flammable, and (c) <i>dense</i>, which means it can roll along the floor until it finds its way to your refrigerator relay or your clothes dryer or any other spark source. Outdoors, maybe, but even then I&#039;d be looking for alternatives. (Okay, <i>I&#039;d</i> set up a reflux arrangement to condense and return the vapors, but that&#039;s because I&#039;m trying to convince my wife to let me keep the organic glassware that&#039;s cluttering up the garage...)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
