[Nhcoll-l] acetone on bones

[Haff, Tonya (NCMI, Crace)]

Hello all,

Just a quick question to confer on what people think about applying acetone to bones to clean them up a bit? We have some researchers who would like to apply this technique to some bird bones we sent them. In general I do not want chemicals applied to our bones, but I'm wondering what the consensus is on acetone?

Cheers,

Tonya
