CaptainPanic Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I would advise you to look into other ways of indentifying your products. Smelling is really the last option you want to use. In case you made something toxic, you probably don't... Why do I even explain this? Nitric, you seem to be totally reckless. I advise you to study things a bit more, and stop trying to kill yourself.

YT2095 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 nail polish remover smell is usually Ethyl Acetate ester, although some removers have a pear-drop smell akin to Isoamyl Acetate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrP Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I thought nail polish remover was usually acetone - or is that out of date now? MrsDrP just brings acetone home from the lab to refill her nail polish remover pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
