50:50 acetone/water is probs fine though. Dunno what this stuff is, it says it's "citrus-based solvent" hmm...
[why is IPA less aggressive, surely it's just reduced acetone?]

acetone will not easily mix with water
IPA will
IPA = iso propyl alcohol = propan- 2 - ol
acetone = dimethyl ketone - it is what your breath will smell of on an 'atkins' diet  |
Suppose that's not too far off... although that said, I've rarely had a problem getting acetone and water to mix! IPA will be better because I suppose an OH is more polar than an O- even if it's double bonded!
[And I know what IPA and acetone are. It'd be worrying if I didn't... put it that way!]
Aside 2... I lurve the smell of acetone. May have to go on the Atkins diet
