<p>[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 3696331, member: 46237"]The above is true, however, I found that proofs sometimes get cloudy as soon as the acetone evaporates off of the coin. This cloudiness <i>I think</i> is due to the rapid temperature change from the evaporation. This doesn't seem to happen when rinsing with distilled water. I haven't had any issues with distilled water rinsing. You just have to make sure the coin is on it's edge and has had ample time to dry. Of note, xylene does not seem to ever cause this cloudiness. I switched to exclusively using xylene on proofs for this reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
