To acetone or not to acetone?

Once the acetone  has evaporated it doesn't do anything to epoxy.
 Part of the problem with acetone is the source of it. The generic stuff is re-claimed, likely from the hazardous waste units. It is slightly contaminated with oils etc.
 You need to buy the higher quality pure stuff to get the best out of it. The cheaper stuff can just add a film of other oil to your gluing surface.
 I prefer to just scrub and rinse tropical wood with hot water and soap

I use it on tip overlays sometime but use denatured alcohol most of the time if I have it, of course tip overlays is about the only glue ups I do.
