<p>[QUOTE="lackluster, post: 1327294, member: 21103"]I went to the cvs pharmacy and order 100% pure acetone. It cost $9 for 4oz bottle. So needless to say i overpaid to make certain i had pure acetone. I haven't used it yet because i was also wondered what to use to bath them in. Was looking for some sort of small glass container. Also wondering how to get the coins in and out of the dip. Do i use fingers w/gloves or some sort of tongs? Every step seems to add to the perils of cleaning. Wouldn't the gloves or tongs also add contaminents?</p><p>The pharmacist told me that had worked somewhere where they used vats of acetone to clean ink and contaminants off of metal.
