Lionel90 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 07:33 am I needed some tweezers and I had this metal one on hand so I added some heat shrink tubing (for electrical wiring). Turns out the heat shrink tubing is immune to Acetone. I bought some plastic tweezers but they melted when I stuck them into the Acetone. Any suggestions or recommendations for upgrades to my equipment are welcome. Report this Post to the Staff

Lionel90 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 12:09 pm This works for me for now. What do experienced collectors use on their better grade coins and Is there a particular brand that is popular? Report this Post to the Staff
