For the first time in 8 years or so I have use for a dab of conductive
paint.
About 8 years ago I asked a chemist mate if he recognised the smell of the
solvent in this phial of paint , I think he said something acetate - ethyl
acetate ?. He said he'd dig out a tiny quantity but both he and I forgot.
Anyway the paint although kept in a fridge is on the solid side of paste and
not paint.
Any ideas where I would find Ethyl Acetate in an ordinary product like nail
varnish remover, epoxy thinner or whatever?
Or any other ideas, as its like Coleman's mustard - made his fortune from
what was left on the side of the plate.

Hi,

You can try using nail varnish remover (The clear type) - it worked for
me!

Which IIRC,is based on acetone,with some other stuff added.
But you can buy it in small amounts,and not have to buy a pint or more.

That's acetone, as the previous poster suggested. (I second the emotion.)
