Acetone is great for thinning fiberglass resin, cleaning fiberglass tools and dissolving superglue before hardening. A heavy-duty degreaser, it is useful in the preparation of metal prior to painting; it also thins polyester resins, vinyl and adhesives. It easily removes residues from glass and porcelain. Acetone is also used in biological research contexts and in industry. A word of warning: Acetone is flammable, so please be careful.
It's also as nail polish remover!
