    I usually do my parts in cold acetone for 55 minutes. I set my timer on my phone so I don't forget.

    Rofl! Hot acetone, usually heat to 100 then back off to 90c once vapor fills jar. Tops 30 second dip. Works for me at least.

    Yeah well, sticking it in there and forgetting then going to bed is what does it. Nice 12 hour soak or so.

    It's still all floppy now.

    wow

    I use sand paper and acetone spray, because it gives objects a smooth finish. I don't like the "melted" finish.
