Thanks Lion4Life! How stupid of me to think otherwise! well as they say, I rather ask some stupid questions than do some stupid things! Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19964 Posts	Posted 07/30/2011 12:13 am Acetone is very volatile, it must be used in a sealed, glass container. A baby food jar would work great. Keep is away from ALL plastic as it will melt most plastics. After soaking, rinse with fresh, clean acetone. There's no need to use water. Lincoln Cent Lover!

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 07/30/2011 01:36 am For acetone, I use the canning jars with rings (Ball or Kerr jars). Instead of using the regular lid inserts or a pickle jar lid (they have rubber seals which the acetone will transform into goo), I use aluminum foil. With the rings it makes a sufficient seal to prevent too much evaporation. Report this Post to the Staff
