<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 8085364, member: 15199&quot;]I have no problem using acetone. The experiment done at Stoney Brook as I remember was underwritten by a firm selling an alternate cleaning agent for connecting copper tubing and fixtures that was more expensive than plain acetone, and thus didn&#039;t sell well. The experimental&nbsp; environment&nbsp; of UV, water vapor , and temperature was ( IMO) extreme beyond normal . Think of a steam autoclave with ultraviolet lights.</p><p>If any want to read it themselves:</p><p><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0013468601003590" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0013468601003590" rel="nofollow">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0013468601003590</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I paid the first time to read it , but not again.
