Default How many times do folk reuse acetone?

Just curious really.
I've got some used about a dozen times. It looks like tea, but it's still going strong...
Any issues with using it like this?

Keep it in a sealed container, mine has gone discoloured with multiple use but still works a treat !

Lol 10years?

Mine had evaporated after a week or so and if it didn’t, it’s comsumed the plastic or absorbed by the tyres.

Mines around the 4 year mark regards age, in a plastic container with a good quality sealed top, top only comes off when putting in and taking out wheels. No reason why it won’t last for plenty of years.

Just starting using it myself... well nail polish remover, worked a treat,
Left tyres in sealed tub over night. Only issue is my once white wheels now have a lovely pink tinge to them. Lol

Good quality - sealed container - mine looks like melted toffee.....

I occasionally top it up - but it's fine for another 10 years - easy
