: One more thing about acetone... It is not particularly toxic on its
: own, but it carries whatever contaminants it contains deep into
: your skin. For example, it will carry uncured epoxy, which is
: nasty, into your skin. So, never use it to clean epoxy or other
: nasties off your hands, and more generally, keep it off your
: skin if it has anything nasty dissolved in it.

Plain white vinegar is good for removing uncured epoxy. In case no one has mentioned it yet.

Nitrile holds up well against acetone for me, doesn't stand a chance against MEK, though.
