John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/20/2022 05:26 am Yes,100% pure acetone not standard nail polish remover. Keep in mind though that epoxy will not come off with acetone. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 06/21/2022 9:11 pm Any acetone results yet. I'm curious to see how the soak (if it happened) turned out. Collecting since 1972.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/22/2022 04:37 am Water, acetone, xylol (Xylene), methylethylketone, isopropyl alcohol. If those don't work it is probably an epoxy and than your best shot is thermal stress. Report this Post to the Staff
