<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 522239, member: 15110"]My wife said I was "high" last night from my xylene party for my coins. I was really hyper and looked in the mirror and and you could have landed a plane on my pupils<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie104" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Also, I use my hands as I am afraid that the plastic tongs are going to melt into the stuff and get on the coin?? This was answered on another post sort of??? I moved this action to the garage by I am so afraid of a more dirty environment and dropping coins on a non carpeted area. I have dropped coins, and dinged them!! Can you use plastic tongs and gloves with this stuff. I have been using my bare hands for the same reason as the tongs but my hands are getting fried. I also used MEK and that stuff is crazy strong.</p><p> </p><p>Spock: too tired to start another post. Maybe next week. RLM said to heat the xylene (I did 10-30 seconds in microwave in glass cup). Seemed to speed up stuff. I have several coins I have soaked 30+ hours with 50% reduction but still have lacquer on. I am assuming you have some expensive lacquered coins. I do as well, but not totally more than $500 which really stinks. Every coin that I have removed (no complete removal yet), all have problems. Tricked by ebay photos and didn't know til later. Spock- I am lost here. Remove and see how messed up the coins are, relacquer and sell (not nice), relacquer and keep in denial of their true identity, or remove completely somehow?? and let tone ove the next 10 years and how the dings, scratches fill in more attractively?? I don't know the answer.:rolling:<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
