snaggle Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Can you use nail polish remover instead of buying a jug of acetone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyb440 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 For what purpose? Some nail polish removers are ethyl acetate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaggle Posted June 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Removing silicon residue? That's what I used. Ya, that is what I need it for I need to reline my 230. I saw some that said 100% acetone but then it had more stuff listed on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arixonbarnes Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I don't believe ethel acetate (which can affect plastic adversely) and acetone are very good for removing silicon. There is a product (name escapes me) that will remove silicon (along with some elbow work) but I wouldn't recommend using it on an aquarium.

patrick Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 There is a special silicone remover. I can't remember now where I got it (I think Canadian Tire) but it was not very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
