No, I'm not selling acetone. :biggrin: We should all have a little bit of acetone in the shop, but for those that use a LOT of it, you might wanna swing by your local Home Depot. Some have 5 gallon cans on clearance. Does anyone still melt plexiglass in acetone for finishing anymore? I think it was plexiglass.

Good luck. Just be aware that they don't all put stuff on clearance at the same time, so YMMV. Good luck.

I checked with my HD yesterday (in Southaven - Memphis area) and they don't even carry 5 gallons of acetone. :frown:

I would love to get that much, especially at that price. Consider yourself fortunate!

Well I did some checking and the Home Depots that carry the 5 gal cans in NJ did not put them on clearance. But I now know which stores carry them and I will keep a watch.Thanks again for the heads up.

Apparently it's not all that common. With the amount of dust that was on the can, it's not a very big seller anyway.
