Pardon me. I wasn't referring to the molecular breakdown. I meant that the two (lighter fluid and GooGone) produce similar results. Lighter fluid DOES work better however. I've had this dance before and I'm not interested in having it again, but the folks that say it doesn't work haven't tried it. I stand corrected on the chemical breakdown though, but that wasn't my point.
You may or may not be correct but remember that not all lighter fluids are the same. If you can find and purchase several different brands you may want to read the lables carefully. So what has worked for you in the past may not work for others and even you if you change brands.
As to Acetone, I've left coins in Acetone for weeks with little to no effects. However, although it has been mentioned many times that Acetone will not effect coins, when those were removed from the Actone, one Large Cent and one
Indian Head cent turned a REAL RED. Not the so called red of a new penny, an actual RED. Numersou other coins in that same jar came out as they went in, no change at all. Although may have had some reaction with the other coins in that same jar.
