Thanks for all the good answers! I like the idea of using nitrile gloves which Bump111 suggested, they fit snug on the hands and are not bulky, giving you a good feel for holding the coin while dipping.

You get four minutes before acetone dissolves nitrile gloves. And I suspect that's cumulative, given what it does to the material.

I use it sparingly and without gloves. Its not nearly as harmful as other chemicals I have dealt with.

I was under the impression it didn't affect nitrile gloves, so I guess I won't be using them now.

So just don't put more than 6 ounces of it in your cup of morning coffee.
But what about my morning Pepsi?

Nitriles are organic compounds. Acetone dissolves organic compounds.
