Researching online DuPont states derlin isn't affected by acetone..so I bought a can at home depot and submerged one of my old insulators in it overnight in a sealed glass jar..much to my delight it didn't affect it at all..Just keep it off of any plastic parts. I would think that includes delrin.
Thanks.. I said DuPont because my mods are authentic American made and use Derlin, made in America by the DuPont company...Don't know what the Chinese call "derlin" as I don't do Chinese made mods..acetone will probly be bad for those I would think..Great. I wouldn't have bet the stuff in most mods had even a passing acquaintance with DuPont.

As a painter for 30 years I know a lot about chemicals and solvents Stay away from that stuff.. for many reasons One is the fumes the other is the residue it will leave behind... not a good mix with a battery...Boom!!! the other is what lefty said it will melt any plastic parts or make them brittle ...if you want a safe and cheap way to clean just dab some ketchup on for 10 mins or so then rinse off with warm water and dryHi

Clean that residue off please... Just use warm soapy water and dry..even use a hair dryer to dryYup. It's what i use and it works amazingly well. I got a bottle of %100 acetone from the nail polish department. You should be able to find it at any department store. Even the dollar store(that’s where i found it)!

Nope...pretty much anything leaves a residue even water...that's what a water stain is but water residue won't go..Boom!Oh i thought it just all evaporated like denatured alcohol. Thanks for letting me know. I used it to clean the threads on both my 4nines just recently.
Reminds me, taco bell sauce cleans too. Would use it on pennies.As a painter for 30 years I know a lot about chemicals and solvents Stay away from that stuff.. for many reasons One is the fumes the other is the residue it will leave behind... not a good mix with a battery...Boom!!! the other is what lefty said it will melt any plastic parts or make them brittle ...if you want a safe and cheap way to clean just dab some ketchup on for 10 mins or so then rinse off with warm water and dry

Will Acetone work... ummm maybe.. but if you get that one your skin like I have it will make you very sick..
Not really.. Acetone is nail polish remove..Do not use nail polish remover haha or paint thinner... The correct way to clean the metal is to de oxidize it the easiest way is with regular old lemon juice
it will also clean your brass and copper mods.. Now if you want to do it the professional way use detoxit it costs a bit but will remove all the junk and actually improve the connection.. read up on it.....

@AmandaD do not feed the scary man things hahah Yes I agree they do and I have had many a GF give me manicures with some kind of twisted love..Ah ha - well, tell that to all the manicure salons around here......LOL (And, yes, they wrap your fingers in pure acetone for at least 15 minutes!)
hahahaha I love that freaking movie Soylent Green too funnynail polish remover is made of PEOPLE!!!!!
What are you talking about make freaking senseNot really.. Acetone is nail polish remove..
Why?What are you talking about make freaking sense
ITS PEOPLE!!!Why?
Vinegar, Lemon juice - it's all good. Acetic acid vs Citric acid. It's the acid that cleans the oxides and crap off the metal. Just don't use Lysergic acid diethylamide. If you do, your mod might grow teeth and snarl at you.Do not use nail polish remover haha or paint thinner...
