Title: This is the stuff horror films are made of!
Post by: Francois on July 29, 2017, 02:59:59 PM: Yes... they dissolved a camera in acetone fumes.
Too bad they didn't let the process go on longer. It took a bit over 24 hours to get this result.

(Or at least my heart) I find these rightfully forgotten abominations by the dozen at second hand shops all the time and see no horror in reducing one to goo.

Someone will post something special about one in a blog, then everyone will need to have it.

Post by: Ed Wenn on July 31, 2017, 01:07:17 PM: Very good. I too wish it had gone on a bit longer. Also, a quick search reveals that dissolving things in acetone is quite the activity on YouTube. That is no surprise.
8) ;D ;D
