Yea I personally have a fire cabinet for all my chemicals. I then seal the bin in plastic so the vapors cannot escape. I was able to dissolve the acetone in 2 hours, the tires slid right off.When I acetone soak a tire off a rim, I put them and the acetone in a 1-gallon steel paint can with tight fitting lid. Let them sit overnight in the garage workshop ~24hr more or less.
Home and hardware stores sell new 1-gallon paint cans. My experience is the acetone stays fresh longer sealed in a steel can and stored in a cool dry place outside the interior of the home. And it is less of a fire hazard stored in that manner.
Remember back in the late '50s when helping my dad repair fiberglass boats, fire marshal inspection directed us to store the acetone containers outside. We dug a dirt storage pit for them covered with the lid from a 55-gallon barrel. Put a concrete block on the lid to keep it in place. So, yeah, acetone is nasty stuff that deserves respect in use. Be careful and follow manufacturers safety guidelines.
Good luck and cheers. 'AC'
This is also my method of choice.
- Alternate option to re-use tires is the "Vapor Method"
- elevate wheel so rubber is not making contact with acetone
- allow vapor to dissolve glue over 2-3 days
- no damage will occur to rubber nor the foam inserts
