In need of a small quantity of acetone for cleaning.

Hopefully 1 litre or so of very basic or rough grade - not for direct
human contact - should see the job done. Nothing whatever to do with
hair or nail extensions!

I have never bought it before. It's on ebay but where should I expect
to buy it in a town - high street, industrial cleaning agent
suppliers, car parts factors or..?

Any brand name to look for?

TIA

hard to get hold of. Used in processing too many street drugs.

I get mine from fibreglass suppliers. But that's getting hard too.




Ah no .... it's very easy to get hold of, ebay, Amazon ... any boat yard,
any industrial chemical outlet ... it's probably the most widely used
industrial solvent.

I grant you bomb making & drugs production also uses fair quantities.
