I'm glad you suggest taking precautions using acetone but there also might be less toxic alternatives (CarboClore?). You mentioned flammability but I wanted everybody to understand its toxicity as well.

I understand acetone is a potent liver toxin and carcinogen. It absorbs through skin and through the lungs.

The sad part is it functions excellently for many applications in working on fiberglass boats. Input about alternatives, from our experts, would be appreciated.

I had good luck on mine using Bartender's Friend and damp towels, then acetone, prior to prime and paint or waxing. Be careful with acetone: wear gloves and a mask and do it outdoors, away from ignition sources.
