Re: White door gasket Reply #25 – January 28, 2014, 06:31:28 pm Well, after reading this, I'm glad Neal took time to explain the details..However, from years of work on cars and boats, "my brain" tells ME to stay away from Acetone for health reasons.Sure, I might be wrong, but, ... what I remember and what I 'follow' is that acetone will go thru your bare skin and do liver damage..NOW please understand what I just put out here is old info... however I have since this news, always use latex gloves and absolutely rarely use Acetone... but frequently us Lacquer thinner. To me, it is less harmfull but just a tad less effective ... I'm oK with that. Quote Selected
Re: White door gasket Reply #26 – January 28, 2014, 11:37:56 pm No doubt about it, Ron.Acetone is a dangerous, flammable solvent that must not be disrespected. Even though acetone's most well-known use is in nail salons, it also appears in many other uses. Here are just a few examples:Printing – as a cleaning solvent Adhesives – most commonly in carpet binding adhesives Wood Stains and Varnishes – very common in wood stains and varnishes as well as their solvents Paint Stripping – as a solvent Polystyrene Manufacture – for polystyrene production Machinery Manufacture and Repair – as a metal cleaning solvent Chemistry, Dental, Hospital and other Labs – as a cleaning solvent SBR Latex Production – as a solvent Electroplating – as a vapor degreaser and cold-cleaning solventSafety TipsMake sure the area in which the acetone is used is well-ventilated Prevent skin absorption - wear nitrate safety gloves every time you use acetone Wear safety goggles If prolonged use, indoors and out, use ventilation masks (not dust masks) If you work with acetone on a surface, make sure the surface does not soak up and retain the liquid acetone Thoroughly ventilate and dry cleaning rags/towels/materials prior to disposal Flammable as a liquid and a vapor. Do not use near open flames or where sparks may occur Dilute spilled acetone with large quantities of water Treat with respect!Neal Quote Selected
