I would recomend not using acetone near ANY ignition source.
Nail polish remover has an oil in it to reduce the volatility of the acetone solvent. |
Ummm...let me clarify! I do not clean my glass anywhere near my studio. I do this outside on my carport, because I don't want to breathe it either. Always! I am meticulous about setting up my work table before I start torching. Everything is already cleaned and ready to go. The acetone/nail polish remover is absolutely the best way to get the gooey rubber band residue off all the way, without a lot of effort.
When I mentioned the nail polish remover, I just assumed that people would not use it anywhere near their torch! lol
Edited to say: after the nail polish remover wipe down which is only for the dirtiest rods and getting off rubber band gunk, I wash with warm soapy water and Dawn.
