[QUOTE="ldhair, post: 2197835, member: 11540"]I don't use gloves or get my fingers in it very much. I use shot glasses the right size where only the edges of the coin touch the glass and cover it with a small glass lens from an old flashlight. After the bath I'll slide the lens over enough to pour off the acetone but not allow the coin to fall out. Next you just let the coin slide out on a cloth. Next I clean and dry the glass and do it again with fresh acetone. Two or three baths of about an hour each should do it. Longer can't hurt anything. This takes very little acetone per bath and cuts down on the fire and breathing hazards. I'm not a fan of using anything to rub the coin. Some folks like to rinse the coin after each bath with water but I only use water after the first bath. This method has worked well for me.[/QUOTE]
