Where to buy acetone

[Kt. Templar]

I suddenly had a brain wave and realised they used acetone in the burgening nail extensions industry. Soooo, there are 2 new ways to get hold of acetone wherever you are.

1) Chat up one of the nice ladies in your local nail bar and see if you can get them to sneak you out a bottle.

2) If this will result in you missus killing you in various painful ways; look up beauty supplier in your local business pages and voila!

Big bottle of pure acetone £4.00 for a litre, thank you very much!

Michaelson look away now!

I guess we're lucky with acetone in the states.... I bought a gallon of it, right at Wal-Mart.

I still have 99% of it left, as I never wound up using it on my jacket at all. 400 grit sandpaper does the same thing to the color, without damaging the leather.

I forgot it's harder to find this kind of stuff over yonder, isn't it, KT?

Acetone can be found in any Hardware store. Paint supplies, usually:
Home Depot
Lowes

I just checked my container of acetone, and it's a quart... not a gallon. I remember them having gallons, but thinking... what in the heck would I need that much acetone for?

Anyway.... typo corrected.

A quart is just under a litre (I had to look it up! We don't do quarts over here, is that 2 US pints?). How much was it?

Yes, acetone doesn't seem readily available here, though I have not looked in hardware stores, we tehd to use white spirit, terpentine and methylated spirits for diy type jobs.
