Re: Dangers of Acetone?

Thanks 78Silver28J .

Since I hadn't heard from anyone, I decided to employ the "do small patch and wait 6 weeks and see what happens." I'm glad to know the answer will probably be "nothing."

Re: 31' or 28' Avion - Your opinion

Thanks Debbie. That's exactly the kind of thing I'm hoping to hear. How many are usually camping in your 25'?

My Le Grande had what looked like smeared paint of some sort on the rear. I tried acetone to remove it and it seems to have done a great job and h...
