<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 3246933, member: 8959&quot;]The key difference between acetone and xylene is the polarity. </p><p>Acetone is more polar than xylene. Acetone is compatible with water, whereas Xylene has very low polarity, and hates water.</p><p>This means acetone will remove stuff which is compatible with it. It is a good compromise solvent for a wide range of materials of mixed polarity.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, acetone will not remove some very low polar deposits. For these you need xylene (or toluene, hexane, etc). </p><p><br /></p><p>That is why the advice to start with acetone is a good one. </p><p>If no work, use xylene.</p><p>If that don&#039;t work. Stop, or continue at your own peril.</p><p><br /></p><p>Use proper ventilation for all of these![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
