[QUOTE="Earle42, post: 2818130, member: 78261"]Acetone - used it on hundreds - literally - of coins. WalMart - copy/pasted from website:. "[SIZE=6][B]ONYX Professionals 100% Pure Acetone Nail Polish Remover, 16 fl oz[/B][/SIZE]" priced 2.48 Don't substitute nail polish remover with fragrance and/or coloring added since these will leave a residue. Pure acetone will not. Soak time - paint/tape residue/glue normally come off within 30 seconds. When this does not work, I look at them after a few minutes. If it looks untouched or not to my satisfaction I leave in a covered jar so the acetone will not evaporate (smart anyway) it overnight. I do all of mine in a baby food jar with lid. Don't put this in direct sunlight and let it sit. For the technical minded - this acetone is rated/sold as 100% pure although the ingredients list one more substance: the bittering agent denatonium benzoate - the most bitter substance known. The agent is added so some whacko won't try to drink the acetone, but the amount added is so incredibly small that professional chemical standards still rate this as 100% pure acetone. I let some evaporate in a clear dish before I ever used this. There was no residue - hence the 100% acetone is what I use. All this is verifiable with research - just google the chemical name.[/QUOTE]
