<< Speaking of Acetone, I noticed that an old metal container of it that

 is slightly rusty, and probably only about six or seven years old. Is
 this anything to be concerned about?

uh, you think? Since it's rusting, you've got leaks on the way I'm sure. It's
cheap enough to replace instead of replacing whatever it damages will would
cost more.
