Admittedly this one is just a good "experimental" coin - you haven't destroyed any real value with what you've done - but it's never advisable to reinforce bad habits. Report this Post to the Staff

Bad for coins, very good in tummys. And too, depending on where you get it, tap water could contain anything and everything. Some tap waters come from wells. Some from a city system where it is Chlorinated. Some from a water softener. One of the biggest problems people have with house plants that constantly die is the water is from a water softener. Those add salt to the water and that kills plants. Acetone is normally available in quart cans at any place that sells paint. Menards, HomeDepot, Walmart, Kmart, Sears, Target, etc. Cost varies but normally abour $4. Report this Post to the Staff
