Just to add a small voice of reason to all this doom and gloom.
Acetone is NAIL VARNISH REMOVER.
Women have been rubbing it on their hands for decades.
I don't think I'd want to wash myself in it, or breath it in industrial quantities, but lets get a grip here.
Secondly, It's the fumes which do the job. You don't need to immerse your wheel and tyre in an acetone bath.
I put a small amount of acetone, maybe 5mm deep at the bottom of a container. pile up all my wheels and tyres on a platform above the acetone bath, seal the top of the container, and leave for 24 hours.
wheel damage is kept to a minimum.
Some wheel plastics soften, but if you leave them a few days, the plastic toughens up again, and you can still peel the rubber from the rims, because the composition of the superglue has been changed permanently.
This way, you only need small amounts of acetone to do the job.
Hope this helps.
