Acetone Vs E Z Est

Yes that is about what the price is in most places lately. Don't know why but seams like the price went up substantially lately. Same with Laquer Thinner, Paint Thinners, even denatured Alcohol at places like Walmart, Menards, Home Depot, Kmart, etc. Might be a conspiracy since so many people use these chemicals lately.
Some people go to chemical supply houses for chemical graded Acetone. In reality almost all pure Acetones are the same. The only problem is in shelf life and the organization that produced the can it comes in. If the inner lining was not properly done or not thick enough, there is a possibility of some slight contamination in the purity of the Acetone.
However, it's easy to test. Just take any very clean, clear glass dish, place some of the Acetone on it and allow it to completely evaporate. If there is any residue, especially a whitesh haze, discard the rest of use for paining purposes. If no residue, it's pure.
Lately I'm afraid to purchase anything in my area due to the outrageous sales taxes. Getting so the taxes are the same as the cost of the items.
