[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3246170, member: 27832"]Be [B]very[/B] careful. Nail polish remover frequently contains perfumes, even moisturizers. I do see, though, that Walmart sells a polish remover labeled as "pure acetone", ingredients: acetone, period. That seems pretty unambiguous. The party line on here has been that xylene is completely non-polar, and therefore best for non-polar contaminants like waxes and oils. I know acetone is more polar, but I've never seen it hesitate to attack non-polar stuff -- it gobbles up styrofoam, which is about as non-polar as you can get. Xylene isn't terribly toxic as such things go, but acetone is a lot more benign, easier to get rid of (set it out to evaporate/burn it off/dilute it heavily with water and flush it), and to my mind more generally useful. And that's why people huff it (and related compounds). Remember, headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting are [I]fun[/I]! How else to explain college parties? :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
