Where can i find acetone?

Looking to give a tubular rim a clean up. I've been told acetone is the best thing for the job but after a trip to a number of DIY shops and pharmacies i cant seem to find any. Whats the best alternative?

cheers...

nail varnish remover should be acetone I understand. I imagine the cheaper the better, without any moisturising whatevers.

although, may be other related chemicalthing:

It's nail polish remover. Go to boots.

Nail polish remover I think is acetone.... at least it used to be!

I think that's unanimous!

superdrug - you can get plain acetone for about £2.

Quite a few nail varnish removers are not acetone based these days so check the label

Not sure if you've found the answer yet but nail var....

yeh, nail varnish remover has all this other shit in it..

i'll try superdrug, cheers...

Has anyone mentioned nail varnish remover yet?

This, ask over the counter in boots. I buy that shit all the time. Yum

if only there were an auction sitye that sold acetone..

although MEK is far better for removing gluey residues

pear drops dissolved in water works well...

If Boots run out, the breath of somebody suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis also has acetone.

I thought that had been banned. I used it many years ago in the printing industry for cleaning caked on ink on molleton dampers.

It was powerful stuff as I recall. Scrubbing away in a poorly ventilated area was akin to buzzing lighter fuel.

FYI ; As a serial decal remover nail varnish wont cut it. 100% Acetone from behind the counter is what your after, that and the heady mix of tub glue is a cocktail of euphoric proportions.
