<p>[QUOTE=&quot;diocletian, post: 773035, member: 15273&quot;]You&#039;re right.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Because I work with these solvents all the time and assume that people should know how to behave around them.&nbsp; But I agree with you that I should maybe have added some safety tips. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This stuff is very flammable! You don&#039;t want to use nail polish remover because it contains perfumes. Don&#039;t try it in a plastic container.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I bought a bunch of silver coins from an old guy who was quite a trip. All of his coins were wrapped in scotch tape.&nbsp; He had silver dollars taped to old cardboard that had been that way for years. These all had black stripes where the tape glue was and were a mess. I paid melt for them soaked them in acetone in a porcelain bowl and the all came out great. It did not affect the toning or leave anything noticeable on the coins. Also, I was told to wash them in ivory soap and pat dry afterwards but I didn&#039;t do that. Acetone evaporates instantly and I didn&#039;t feel the need. That was 4 years ago and today these coins look fine.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One other thing I will say is that I have never tried it on copper coins. I was told that acetone will change the color of them. I never bought a copper coin that looked like it needed it and if I was going to try it I would first try it on a cheap one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
