Well I tested the acetone on the various materials and they all seemed ok. I didn't feel any differences, except I believe when I tested it out on some vinyl tubing. The vinyl wasn't dramatic but it did start feeling a bit sticky after awhile of rubbing the acetone on it.

There was one problem though, I'm pretty sure that the epoxy is not resistant to acetone. And it doesn't look like the abs plastic forms a water tight seal around the epoxy (there's some small gaps). Now if a 33% solution would have much affect on it I'm not sure, but I think I'm going to just stick with the antifreeze & water for now.

Maybe some more adventurous person will try it out and let us know how it goes, I don't think you'll notice anything for awhile if there are problems. So if someone did try it out we probably wouldn't know if it was messing up their stuff until a few months later.
