    Using Acetone, would an ice tray work?

    Has anybody ever used an ice tray to soak coins in acetone? I have been wanting to try this but was afraid of a melted mess. I was using little glass bowls covered with saran wrap but it takes up too much counter space. Please let me know how you all do it. Thank you!

    I would not use anything plastic. I use baby food jars....but any kind of glass is always your best bet.

      Small glass jar with screw on top. Take up too much space? How many are you soaking at one time?

        I agree with using glass. Plastic will disintegrate over time.
