the other day I was messing with my acetone, and something happened. I think I got a little dizzy from the fumes, I went outside immediatly. the I forgot all about my acetone. I went on my computer and didnt go to my 'lab' fo about a week. well when i got dizzy I left the acetone canister open. well I just checked and I have no acetone in that container, it is empty. good thing I bought 2 cans.... ------------------ "... always look on the positive side of things, blow things up not down" -- Ragnar Benson |

Good thing there wasn't an open flame or you would have seen what a flash fire looks like. Good lab practice is to keep solvents in the smallest container needed for you immediate use and the rest safely stored away. Open the container and pour it out and IMMEDIATELY re-cap it. Good ventilation is important. And no ignition points nearby such as a motor, appliance, or water heater. ------------------ |
