: Most acetone these days is reclaimed too and can have oily contaminates. If
: you're sure it's not reclaimed then it's ok. Just remember that acetone
: kills brain cells fairly quickly, nasty stuff, wear gloves and have plenty
: of air flow around when using it.

So thaaaaaaat's what's wrong with me. ;) As long as there is good ventilation, exposure to acetone vapours shouldn't be a problem. I am living proof of that. Yeppers, I know I just set myself up for some honest ribbing. That said, exposure to denatured alcohol vapours has a similar effect, just not as quickly. Note to anyone using organic solvents: ALWAYS USE IN AN AREA WITH MOVING AIR - NEVER IN A CLOSED SPACE.
