Brewzz Valued Member United States 199 Posts	Posted 02/07/2009 9:38 pm I have cleaned some low value silver coins with #1 diamond paste.But I have about 20 years experience polishing molds to optical finishes.I wouldn't recommend a novice to try it.It won't leave hairline scratches as long as the brushes are new and clean.One speck of dirt can ruin a project.....

Not really necessary. Of course if you wanted to you could look up chemical supply houses. The primary thing with Acetone is to just check it out for purity. Simple. Take a glass dish, cleaned with distilled water, pour some Acetone on it, allow to evaporate in a well ventilated area. If there is no residue, it is as pure as you can get. In many instances the Acetone from a paint department in a store may well have been there for years. Possibly some of the insides of the can, if in a can, has been dissolved into the Acetone. If so, there will be a white substance on the dish. Report this Post to the Staff
