<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 4052266, member: 27832&quot;]As [USER=77413]@RonSanderson[/USER] said, that would be a fire and explosion hazard, at least if there&#039;s a lid on the container. If there&#039;s no lid, it&#039;ll evaporate quickly -- but then why not skip the paper towel? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Acetone is <b>one of the safest solvents you can choose</b>, at least as far as toxicity and environmental impact. Your body makes it and disposes of it naturally. It degrades quickly in the atmosphere (half-life of 22 days), and doesn&#039;t do much harm in the interim.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Do</b> make sure you&#039;ve got adequate ventilation when you use it. Don&#039;t inhale the concentrated vapors (like from a bag), and don&#039;t drink it, because it <i>is</i> toxic if you get enough of it all at once. Also keep it away from sparks and fire, because it&#039;s <b><i>extremely</i> flammable</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t pour it down your drain, because it can attack plastic plumbing (although I&#039;m not sure how much damage it would do after it&#039;s diluted with lots of water). Don&#039;t throw it away in a plastic container, or throw it into a plastic-bag-lined trash can, because it might dissolve the plastic.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re using gallons of it a week, dispose of it properly. If you&#039;re using a few ounces at a time, relax, and let it evaporate. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
