Mags is correct ! Usually nail varnish remover will contain things like lanolin - or other fatty compounds - otherwise you will de-grease your skin as well as removing the varnish. We used to make up a couple of litres in the lab on Friday afternoon. - One winchester quart of acetone, lump of lanolin, dash of methyl ethyl ketone... My colleage reckoned that girls would do almost anything for a 500ml bottle of nail varnish remover. At least, that's what he said One thing that I discovered was that uncured epoxy will prevent gelcoat (polyester resin) from ever hardening. Acetone worked for me... Colin (MR3387/Solo 3340) |

I did wonder about nail polish remover but I decided not to risk it as, like others have said, there is other stuff in there too. The Blue Gee acetone arrived this morning so I'll give it a whirl when I get back home. The boat is once more in the living room to avoid the chance of rain stopping play again. |

Nail polish remover is cellulose thinners, isn't it? I've always had better results with genuine epoxy cleaners than acetone. West make one which Robbins Timber, amongst others, sells. |
