    Cleaning the bed in aceton

    Hello,

    at the moment, I've got an up! plus 2 printer at home and I print with ABS on it.

    Now, my previous bed I put on it, is full with ABS material.
    They told me, to clean it in aceton.

    What is the best way to clean it in?
    I mean, If I put it in a plastic box, does that plastic box disappear because of the aceton I put on it? So, do I need a glas box? Or what type of box can I use for it?


    And another question:
    What do you do to clean your bed?


    Thanks!

    Gr. René

    I use a razor blade. I dip the bed in warm water to wash the hairspray off.

    When in hot water the hairspray will stick less, But will be anoying to get off with your fingers,
    So its easyer to use a piece of metal to scrap the hairspray off when in water/just out of hot water.
