No - it is a solvent that will dissolve resins
Synthetic resins can be dissolved with solvents such as acetone, ethanol, or mineral spirits. It's important to use the appropriate solvent based on the type of resin you are trying to dissolve. Always follow safety precautions when working with solvents.
Acetone can dissolve or soften certain types of PCBs, such as older, more porous ones. However, it may not be effective against newer, denser PCB material. When handling PCBs, it is important to consult with professionals who specialize in their safe removal and disposal to avoid health and environmental risks.
Permanent marker inks contain three main ingredients: colorant, carrier, and resin. A colorant, usually dyes or pigments, is what gives markers their permanence, and, of course, their color. A dye is usually a coloring material dissolved in a solvent, making it a soluble dye. On the other hand, a pigment is an insoluble coloring matter. Solvents are used as the carrier in permanent markers. Alcohol, such as ethanol or isopropanol, is an environmentally friendly solvent. It also evaporates quickly, allowing permanent markers to dry faster. The last component, resin, is a polymer that promotes adhesion. This also adds to the permanence of markers. The resin sticks like glue to most of the surfaces the marker is written on causing the pigment to attach to surfaces. These markers are generally not truly permanent as, on most surfaces, they do not stain but form a surface layer that can be removed by high pressure cleaning or solvents such as acetone, and they will eventually wear away over time. You can now gather that the so called permanent marker, can be removed because the resin component in the marker ink is soluble in acetone.
No, because when you add acetone to acetone, all you are doing is adding more of the volume of acetone to acetone. You are just changing the amount of acetone, not anything chemically happening.
Its a polyatomic ion called Acetate
No, acetone is not a hardener for resin
Acetone will work fairly well to remove the polyester resin--until the resin sets. Trichloroethane (e.g., ZipStrip) will soften the cured resin, possibly enough to remove it. Always try it on an inconspicuous spot before you commit to treat the whole garment. I know of a guy who had to wear a towel home because the acetone turned his polyester trousers into what looked like snot when he soaked them.
acetone
Acetone or isopropyl alcohol can be used to remove stains on resin surfaces. For tougher stains, you may need to use a mild abrasive cleaner or sand the area lightly. Always test in a small inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not damage the resin finish.
Probably not. Nail polish is normally acetone based and that doesn't blend with the resin used in oil based paints.
To dilute concentrated resin, solvents such as isopropyl alcohol, acetone, or specialized resin thinners are commonly used. The choice of solvent depends on the type of resin being diluted, as different resins may require specific solvents for effective dilution. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for the appropriate dilution methods and ratios. Additionally, proper safety precautions should be taken when handling solvents.

To soften cured resin, you can use heat or solvents. Applying gentle heat with a heat gun or a hairdryer can make the resin more pliable, but be cautious not to overheat, as it may cause damage. Alternatively, soaking the resin in a solvent like acetone can help break down its structure, making it easier to manipulate. Always ensure you work in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate safety gear when using solvents.

If the fiberglass has not yet cured then it can me removed using acetone. Acetone is often the main ingredient in nail polish remover. Be sure to test on a small area first since acetone can damage some fabrics. If the fiberglass has cured try soaking with Trichloroethane to soften the fiberglass enough to remove it. Again, it is important to test on a small area of the garment first to be sure that it does not damage or discolor the garment.
