Members rickeyfro Posted August 14, 2010 Members Report Posted August 14, 2010 Can Acetone be used in place of deglazer? I think someone told me that once. Quote
Members ChuckBurrows Posted August 14, 2010 Members Report Posted August 14, 2010 Yes it can as can alchol, both isopropyl aka rubbing alcohol and denatured, and oxalic acid aka wood bleach. The commercial deglazer is a mix of denatured alcohol and citric acid according to the MSDS - you can make your own with a quart of denatured alcohol and 1/8-1/4 cup pure lemon juice.

Members Spinner Posted August 14, 2010 Members Report Posted August 14, 2010 I'd start with alcohol to see if it removes the finish first. If that doesn't work then try the acetone after the alcohol dries out. Acetone is slightly more harsh on natural materials and will pull more of the color out than alcohol will.

I was a Tandy today and the label said it was Ethylene Acetate or something like that. Is smelled like Toulene/Xylene and Lemon Has anyone ever tried MEK? Anything to that?

Members RobDude30 Posted January 18, 2011 Members Report Posted January 18, 2011 I use denatured alcohol. It takes care of most cleaning/deglazing jobs. Oxalic acid works better if you need to remove some stubborn stains. Quote

I went back and read the whole thing and don't see anything to indicate why that range. And Fiebing's site only shows a #12 Deglazer. MAybe they had different strengths at one time or other??? Who knows.... Tom Quote Tom Gregory Legacy Leathercraft www.legacyleathercraft.com www.etsy.com/shop/legacyleathercraft
