Boots although theres a few people on here who sell pure acetone and it works out alot cheaper than buying nail polish remover. I just put one bottle full (250ml) in one of those sealable tubba-ware boxes and put them in till it comes off, when the acetone is new it usually does it over night but now i just leave them in till i need them or have another batch to do.

Make sure your container is air tight, or the stuff will evaporate away (and give you a bad head!)

Slightly off topic, could you tell me where do:
- the "Pin" is used and with which compounds?
- the "Spike" is used and with which compounds?

I have in mind Spike in green for wet grass/astro and Pin in green for indoor!

We use yellow pins indoors (although yellow spikes are o.k. too)
Yellow spikes outdoors (dry grass or astro)
Green spikes wet outdoors (grass or astro)
(schumacher compounds)

GRP seem to cope better with varied conditions - one compound for dry and nearly wet
