You can also find it fairly easy (nail polish remover).
So is there any bad properties of it? (I'm trying to figure this out, but feel free to let me know so I don't have to keep on looking)
Other than it might eat away at your tubes, maybe not.

I don't know the heat transfer properties of Acetone. Anyone?
