<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bcuzz1, post: 1650377, member: 43464&quot;]I have some coins with PVC on them. I have already read many, many excellent posts on this forum and think I have an understanding of the process and consequences of getting the PVC off. Thanks to everyone for sharing. Certainly I am not an expert, but I have to start somewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, there is some debate in a few threads about using tweezers vs fingers when doing the Acetone. While I read that holding the coin with fingers by the rim is perhaps the best, I have other factors (arthritis) that I believe using some tweezers might be better for me. I found these:</p><p><a href="http://www.mcmaster.com/#tweezers/=lne1by" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mcmaster.com/#tweezers/=lne1by" rel="nofollow">http://www.mcmaster.com/#tweezers/=lne1by</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Am I correct that the plastic-coated tip ones would probably be the wrong choice with the Acetone? What about those carbon-fiber tipped ones? Can somebody tell me if those are ok with the acetone? (Who would have thought there was such a thing as carbon-fiber tweezers?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, is this a good source of Acetone and Xylene?</p><p><a href="http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/119/2026/=lne5qz" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/119/2026/=lne5qz" rel="nofollow">http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/119/2026/=lne5qz</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I have no affiliation with that company, just found them searching Google. They have a lot of cool stuff. I might get some of the glass petri dishes also. The petri dishes are rated up to 482 F. I&#039;ll let you know what happens when the Acetone gets heated to that temperature <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>BC[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
