Default Alternatives to acetone?
Anything maybe less stinky or flammable?

Odorless mineral spirits the only data I could find on it said freezing point of -76

Also said boiling point of 340 so pretty sure that is in F, and would freeze up with DIce


Just need a couple shots of grain in there right? that might be doable.

Isn't grain alcohol as flammable as acetone? Don't top fuel cars run on that shit?

91% alcohol worked o.k. for me. I dunno which one was worst, the acetone or the alcohol. Both of them are really jacked up when you're sealed in an airtight office with an a/c unit circulating fumes.

The acetone fumes make u jumpy.

The alcohol fumes make your eyes burn and you can taste it after an 8 hour binge.

Ventillation is kinda important.

Yeah grain alcohol is flammable I thought it might be less fumy though especially at -70C

If I have a tracking number on my CPU tomorrow, I will pick up some rubber eraser and I guess hit Homedepot and grab some dryer vent and some acetone :(

I got warm clothes so will just crack on window a smidge and have a HS yate pushing fumes out the other window.
