<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3696511, member: 112&quot;]You&#039;ll find my suggestions for using it in this thread - </p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/proper-acetone-procedure.193708/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/proper-acetone-procedure.193708/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/proper-acetone-procedure.193708/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And there&#039;s a few things I don&#039;t recommend that others do - but primarily it&#039;s the use of Q-tips, or anything else that is used to touch the coin. In my book touching the surface of the coin should be avoided. The first rule of coin collecting is never touch the surface of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That depends on what you&#039;re trying to remove. There are things that acetone works better on than xylene, and things that xylene works better on than acetone. But there are some things that xylene works on that acetone will not get off. Some oils or oil compounds for example.</p><p><br /></p><p>My suggestion is and always has been when you don&#039;t know for certain what is on the coin, and you almost never do know for certain, ya follow the basic steps of what to use. Start with distilled water, then acetone if that doesn&#039;t work, then xylene if those two didn&#039;t work. And the basic procedure is the same for all three.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if none of the three work then your last choice is to use coin dip. It&#039;s all explained in the thread I listed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
