No no no no. Did I say no? Bad bad bad bad.

I use acetone. It dries. I heard that mineral spirits leaves an oily
residue, which is what you are trying to get rid of in the first
place.

Good idea. I use acetone to clean electronics. I've never tried it
on skis.

Vote for Romney. Repeal the nightmares.

Acetone is a solvent the will effect plastics I would use it in limited
amounts until I heard from manufacturer that the plastic used was not
effected by acetone.

Acetone only affects certain plastics. Acetone is sold in plastic
bottles.

A few years ago on a job, a co-worker knocked my bottle of acetone off
the table and the top broke. I couldn't put it back in my truck
without a top. but I was drinking a vending machine bottle of iced
tea. When the bottle was empty I poured in the acetone and sealed it.
It's been in my truck like that for years.

Bull****. The bottle is locked away in my truck, and I wrote,
"acetone," on the label. How often do you take an open bottle of iced
tea off someone's truck?

I use it every spring. I don't soak my bases in it. I apply it to a
rag and wipe the black stuff off. It dries in seconds and has not hurt
my bases, ever.

Those of us in the real world have to do what works. It's been there
for years. What's wrong with it? I hate having to wrap my paint cans
in extra plastic bags so that I can throw them in the trash. :-o

I pay absolutely NO attention to the politically correct and
especially the warmons that are free to use and consume things to make
themselves happy but are all to willing to restrict the things that
make me happy as long as it's not something that they find useful
themselves.
