just a thought - it seems that many that are advocating the "acetone method," and long soak times, are forgetting that acetone is a solvent and disolves oil. and that one rather important ingrediant in rubber and plastic products is oil, and that the subsequent soaking of oils out of plastic just leads to brittle plastic.




again, I'm not justifying one method over another. just saying that any one method can be as much of a crap shoot containing inherent problems of their own (soaking = brittleness, baking = drying out/melting, boiling = often not hot enough to break down CA)
