<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2982929, member: 84179&quot;]Using small amounts acetone occasionally isn&#039;t going to hurt you.&nbsp; However, you do need to be aware of the safety issues and how to dispose of it, as [USER=77639]@calcol[/USER]&nbsp; points out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with Doug that working with acetone isn’t a big problem, but strongly disagree with his comments that it’s safe to use.&nbsp; It’s safe for some of us with experience, but could be a big problem for someone who has no experience with chemicals.&nbsp; In some ways, it’s like using a firearm.&nbsp; A knowledgeable, experienced owner always treats every weapon like it’s loaded, stores it responsibly, etc.&nbsp; When you’re explaining safety to someone new to firearms, do you just say “Hey, I use this all the time and haven’t had any problems” and let them run off unsupervised, or do you make sure they understand that it’s safe if you follow the safety rules and it can be very dangerous if they don’t know what you’re are doing?</p><p><br /></p><p>Working with chemicals is similar. Listening to people preaching about the potential hazards of something that you know has a low risk because you’re knowledgeable and experienced, can seem like overkill, but remember, not everyone has experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully, some of this info can help someone interested in using acetone to remove PVC residue and other organic materials do it safely and gave them a venue to ask questions so they don’t make mistakes[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
