<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3695797, member: 15199"]I buy 'Strip kleen' brand and have used gallons cleaning various type of metal, dissolving super glue, etc, I do not think the gallon sizes have DB , but I wouldn't be concerned as the percentage even is most fingernail removers just have to be in the range of close to 0% due to its strength to produce horrible taste. It is used in acetone because some procedures to make crystal meth and other illicit substances use acetone and the DB really messes up the taste ( according to internet rumors).</p><p><br /></p><p>The human body makes acetone in metabolic reactions so I do not worry about it, just don't drink it as it is as bad as booze. IMO, do not rinse with any water after the acetone has evaporated. If you allowed it to drain by holding it between your fingers until the acetone on the coin evaporate, usually about 1 min. for silver dollar size. The acetone takes water in the crannies of a coin away when it evaporates, and since common coin corrosion can not occur if completely dry you can pop it into a proper holder, Rinse it and you can activate a reaction that will continue when put into any holder, safe or not., IMO, Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
