[QUOTE="ldhair, post: 3175780, member: 11540"]Just a few thoughts on what could go wrong, using acetone. It's been said that acetone can take on some kind of a change if not stored properly. Something to do with exposure to light. Some think they can save used acetone and use it again. Not a good idea. Others think that one quick bath is enough. I don't agree. This leaves some of the junk on the coin. As a normal, I go with at least three baths using fresh acetone each time. Just for fun, put a drop of the used acetone on a glass slide and put it under a scope. That gives you an idea of what you are leaving on the coin. Acetone can attack the stems used on Qtips, plastic or paper. Same with the container you use for the baths. I really like glass. Next is the transfer of junk from one coin to the next. I believe in working with one coin at a time.[/QUOTE]
