As well as apprentices with tape measures and a computer that did not do
what I want it to do I have one final question/post. I have a bunch of keys covered in dried superglue. Google says acetone will clean them. Anyone tried it? One of the keys is a pretty secure padlock key with more dimples on it than on the recent post about getting a key cut. -- Adam |

Acetone, but acetone can attack some plastics so test first. |

Yes acetone does work but be aware that some nail varnish remover isn't acetone and doesn't work. Acetone will also dissolve some plastics so if the keys or keyring has plastic parts then these could be at risk. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

Acetone cannot hurt unless any of the parts are plastic, in which case it
will melt it. Beware do not pour your acetone into a small plastic yoghurt pot to soak the items in. In half an hour the acetone will be gone and the pot firmly glued to the table!
