<p>[QUOTE="Scuba4fun777, post: 7425996, member: 75199"]For those concerned about acetone and the environment, our all-knowing EPA has deemed acetone to be a VOC-exempt solvent. Which means that they’ve determined it to have little to no effect on the ozone layer - and that it’s exempt from any reporting regarding Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s). </p><p>Also, if you have any styrofoam around that you want to recycle or throw out, put it in a garbage bag and pour some acetone on it. The styrofoam will reduce to a small fraction of its original size and will have turned into a gooey mess. A great way to get rid of two unwanted substances at once!</p><p>The bag will likely not melt with acetone (as most garbage bags are compatible) however, check to be sure first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
