<p>[QUOTE="BadThad, post: 1507875, member: 17261"]Yep, you're crazy when it comes to acetone and copper. LOL <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> As you know, I've used it for decades without a single problem. Rehydrating surfaces after an acetone rinse is just a bad idea as corrosion is catalyzed by water. I primarily use acetone on copper to dehydrate the surfaces prior to storage. It's not very good at removing surface residues. In general, xylene is a much better choice for that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
