<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3172485, member: 15199"]As long as you know there are health concerns due to the vapors being very flammable around a flame or spark, and that if you get it on the skin, it can remove the oils from the outer layer of dead cells ( corneum) if you are appearance conscious. Also do not put into a drain that uses PVC tubing ( some kitchen or bathroom sinks usually) for connections. It can not damage coin metals or metallic corrosion ( toning) in conditions you would live. In many labs with proper sinks, it is used in a squirt bottle ( with safety glasses) to clean test tubes that were used for organic chemicals. Best to first soak for a few minutes, then move coin to a new container with new acetone a few times to "rinse" off the gunk.</p><p>This will bother some people but!! Do not rinse with water after using , hold by the edge until the acetone evaporates as it carries any water in crevices of coin with it. You can find the MSDS on the web if you still worry about it. Do not use fingernail polish remover which contains acetone + additives. Any household that has 'superglue' in it , should have at least a small bottle of acetone in case some klutz glues their fingers together. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
