But for the learner or one that doesn't want complete removal of color, but just lessened, can dilute the dip with distilled water to a ratio they can watch slowly changing and deciding when to withdraw the coin and rinse with distilled water to let dry in air or rinse with acetone before allowing it to air dry. </p><p><br /></p><p>Things can still go badly, but it reduces a head-on wreck to a dented fender.
