However, I doubt that I waited that long. After all, the Acetone will evaporate fairly quickly. I won't speculate on why it works, but it does work.

Most of us will have ATF fluid around (even used should work), but I wonder if fingernail polish remover could sub for acetone? On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 11:16 AM, Charlie England wrote: > Why?

Sure, it'll be a _lovely_ flowery smelling bolt loosener! :) Actually, though traditional nail polish remover used to be acetone, I don't think the stuff sold nowadays is always acetone any more. -Dana -- Why did the chicken cross the Mobius strip?
