There are a couple of small hardware stores on Thepprasit; they might have it. Of not, maybe you could use nail polish remover.

 

Thanks!

 

Any idea what kind of hardware store that sell Acetone? I went to a

couple of stores that sell paint, but they did not have any.

 

Nail polish remover contains glycerin and other oily stuff which makes 

it useless for my use.

 

 

Cheers :)

I buy from a small hardware store in Naklua, they primarily supply the boat industry.

 

Look around your area for the same, typically anywhere selling fiberglass resin will have acetone.

I cannot say where to buy in Pattaya but here in Ban Chang on Suk is a chemical supply shop and he sells pure acetone in any amount I may want. So my recommendation is to look for a shop in the area that is a local distributor for chemical and cleaning supplies.

Thanks for your help guys! I sent my girlfriend out to buy some. 

(It was for her anyway) No luck at Friendship, but she got some

in Naklua that was diluted with water. The seller there told her 

everybody was diluting it, which I don`t believe. The bottle was

also leaking a lot because of wrong cap :p. 5 "Lippo"-bottles 

with orange warning tape solved that problem :)

 

I`ll try some of the other suggested places later on. For now it`s

kind of working, it just takes a bit of extra time to let the water dry

out. 

 

Cheers :)

Acetone is a single pure substance, lacquer thinner is a mix of acetone
and other similar chemicals (ketones), some of which evaporate more
slowly. Think of acetone as salt, lacquer thinner as seasoned salt.

Ok its a mixture and acetone is a ketone. Never stated what the purpose is for ^ but as a solvent, lacquer  thinner will cut anything. Super glue, epoxy resins . hydrocarbons.

BTW ive had organic too

No luck at Friendship ? Try again: this one is from there... ingredient : Acetone

 

Edit: let the water dry out of your diluted solution !? Distillation maybe better ?

was shopping for groceries today and checked if indeed they discontinued acetone at friendship - seems still there, 50bt for 450ml and 18bt for 100ml bottle. Bought this before and worked well for all cleaning...be careful it easily damages the surface under the stain so it probably is real acetone. At least says acetone and smells like it.

 

Right under the toothbrushes, on alley opposite where butter/margarine is placed.

 

...But where to find Oxalic acid...in some other towns seems to be available in stores selling chemicals - anybody know of such general chemical store in Pattaya area?

Acetone will vaporize before the water.. ;)

 

According to my GF, this is for nails, which normally means it have Glycerol.

She did see this when she went to Friendship, but the sticker only says that

it contains Acetone, so probably not 100% as it would not be good for nails 

otherwise. 

 

We have for nails already, and it certainly smells like Acetone, but when it

dries out on a polished surface of metal, you can clearly see the oil/fat.

100% Acetone would disappear completely.

 

Nail polish remover works fine if you just want to remove stuff from a surface.

If you want to glue or paint on that surface afterwards, not so good... You can 

do a second cleaning with alcohol, but it`s time consuming and expensive. 

100% Acetone is what I`m looking for, and I will check out the other suggestions 

when it`s time for a refill. 

 

Cheers :)
