<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marianne, post: 109048, member: 4907&quot;]Thanks again to everyone who welcomed me to this forum. I&#039;m still working on those pics, GD!</p><p><br /></p><p>But mostly I&#039;ve been plotting my giant attack against PVC. I know that I have to treat all the coins in the pvc-laden albums, whether they show green or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Okay. I have 500 coins to treat. All those tiny Dutch half cents and 10 cents really add up. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to all of your previous postings on the subject, I have a pretty good idea of the process. I do have a few stray questions, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m planning to set up shop in my backyard (when it stops raining...). I have a respirator, gloves, three glass dishes, pure acetone, distilled water, and cotton cloth for air-drying. I&#039;ll have tongs. Oh, and a jar to pour the dirty acetone into. Am I forgetting anything?</p><p><br /></p><p>Even using a respirator, I know I shouldn&#039;t go hog wild. Is it reasonable to do this for an hour at a time? I&#039;m guessing it&#039;ll take several hours, plus the time to put the coins away.</p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s the best way to rinse with distilled water? Can I dip coins into a bowl of water, replacing the water frequently?</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it too risky for me to tackle the valuable coins? I could hire a professional, but most of the rarer coins show little or no sign of pvc residue. I&#039;m hoping to nip it in the bud. Plus, I&#039;m not rolling in money that doesn&#039;t have Willem III on it. If it needs to be done, though, I&#039;ll spend what&#039;s necessary.</p><p><br /></p><p>Really, I just like wearing a respirator and doing Darth Vader imitations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
