If you have genuine Bakelite, it is chemically about as close to inert as you can get. Acetone will do absolutely nothing to it. However if it is a later plastic, some of these are very dramatically attacked by it. Avoid, unless you are 100% sure you have proper Bakelite and nothing else. Also be aware that if you go for the cheap option and use nail polish remover it will remove larger oily deposits but is usually cut with oil of some description so that it doesn't dry the nails out. This will remain in your camera as an oily residue, which may defeat the object. |
