<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2652060, member: 69760&quot;]I know that this is an old thread, but it&#039;s a goodie. Anyway, I have a few questions that are still lingering after I&#039;ve read all of the different threads and sites on using acetone and xylene. I hope to get answers on these before I try out the xylene I purchased:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>+ What happens when a coin of any metal composition (silver, copper, etc.) are soaked for over 24 hours? Or, why is it bad?</p><p><br /></p><p>+ Does xylene have worse fumes than acetone?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I haven&#039;t had any issues using acetone indoors and the fumes practically smell the same as nail polish remover. Does xylene really necessitate outdoor use in the same sense as acetone? I understand that xylene and acetone are flammable and toxic if ingested, but apart from that, can I simply pour xylene in a glass jar while indoors, place the copper coins in, and seal the lid tight?</p><p><br /></p><p>+ Is it bad to bathe a coin in xylene for more than 24 hours? For sake of argument, what if it&#039;s bathed for a week? Same idea as acetone, or worse?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
