Today my wife asked me to run to Dollar General and buy her some 100% acetone for her nails. She cautioned me they sell more than one kind, and to be sure and get 100% acetone.

I bought one $3.25 jar for her and one for me.:)

Hurry up and buy some before the do gooders outlaw this wonderful stuff.:)

You put a cotton ball on the top and pump and then apply to varnished pipes or oxidized stems and it just dissolves varnish and stem oxidation.

8 ounces might be a lifetime supply, but if you use it up another jar is cheap.

Acetone is very useful for pipe restoration and maintenance but in most cases is an overkill that can do some real damage. Ask me how I know…😁
