I mean I've told you I have seen it happen with my own eyes - and you choose not to believe that. So why would you ever believe it even if you did find the other posts and reports - would their word, their reports, be any better than mine ?

I don't know. But here's the thing - does it matter ? I mean the coins aren't turning the weird colors when they are left alone, they only turn the weird colors after being rinsed in acetone ! So whether it's the mysterious something, or the acetone, that causes it is immaterial - the point is it happens sometimes, but only after acetone is used. </p><p><br /></p><p>My suggestion is simple, don't use acetone on copper and risk it. Use xylene on copper because it never happens with xylene ! And xylene will remove almost all things that acetone will.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
