Hey there Mr. Pruden!
Thanks for the response up stairs....I use the vinegar to clean up the thickened epoxy off a surface, and to clean off tools....but sorry to say I usually throw used syringes (goopy schmutz) away...though that policy might change given the results you get using Acetone. I think it might behoove me to experiment with denatured alcahol too. The vinegar works well enough if I can scrub...which is a daunting task inside a syringe.

On another note, I must say, I enjoy reading your input on the KBBB. I think we do things a bit differently sometimes, but I guess that's the beauty of diversity! Be well!
