so just for fun I put a rubber patch in a cup of acetone. The kind of patch that has the plastic pieces on both sides.

after four hours all that happened was one of the pieces of plastic had fell off. The rubber nor the plastic was melted or appeared damaged in any way.

I wouldn't be surprised if the next day the rubber seems to be "dry rotted" though..

Man I’m either unlucky or your patch is magical.

pnj, I would protect your hands. Your skin is an organ. It will absorb stuff through your hands. You probably are healthy enough that you get rid of it and detox fine but you never know, some day that could change.

We live in a toxic world. It doesn't hurt to try and minimize that stuff. I used to think I'd only like til I was 30 and didn't care about it. But the longer you're around the longer you see how much the world can screw people up.

I don't mean to talk down to you and for all I know you're as old as me. But I know what it's like to feel invincible when I was young and pretty much learn that's not really the case. LOL.

Well at least we know that turtles and acetone will clean white tires.

It’s time for the 2020 vital BMX turtle soup cook off

i put my hands in acetone every day for work.

it's crazy what it melts and what it won't melt.

for instance. it will melt many plastics. but won't melt sugar. water melts sugar though. so sometimes I have to use water first. melt the sugar. then use acetone after that.

it doesn't melt all plastics* though. how do I know? i use it EVERY DAY.

* not an expert on what a plastic is. I just know that in the real world. in every day places that all of us occupy, acetone doesn't melt everything.

I have about 20 gallons of acetone right now. maybe i'll see what it does to some old tires I have. kinda feel like it won't do anything... other than clean the surface dirt off of it.

I imagine your hands have the texture of The Thing's dick haha

my hands are pretty smooth.

the piece of rubber is also just as it was before I put it into the acetone.

zero change to it at all.

I just use some seventh generation wipes to clean my tires. But I wouldn't say it gets them super clean. I think one could use WD40..... simple green would probably work well too. I did clean my tires on my car with that stuff....

I drink from the bottle.

Suck my biopolymer DNA chain.

Your imagination surely could be put to better use.
