Bogus or not, you should not be letting acetone touch your skin....your skin might not be irritated, but the chemicals lodge in your organs...acetone is nasty stuff...just because it didn't kill you right then.....doesn't mean it isn't dangerous!
uh-oh, so maybe this is bogus?

there ya go, use gloves and good ventilation
If ya'll remember right, I did the same thing with the Monsters creature.
Things to be wary about:
Acetone, if concerntrated, is VERY strong.. it'll eat yer hands, and it'll eat the plastic, if let on too long.
And if you use a plastic bristler brush, or toothbrush, it'll eat those as well.
It will also eat the glue or loosen the sonic weld Mcfarlane uses as well.. you jus hav eto be quick, and careful with the stuff.
Also, your figure might seem "soft" when you arre done.. just let him sit for a few days, and the hardness will return.
i want one!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The only real health threats are from inhalation, consumption, or high amounts of skin contact.If you are exposed to acetone, it goes into your blood which then carries it to all the organs in your body. If it is a small amount, the liver breaks it down to chemicals that are not harmful and uses these chemicals to make energy for normal body functions. Breathing moderate- to-high levels of acetone for short periods of time, however, can cause nose, throat, lung, and eye irritation; headaches; light-headedness; confusion; increased pulse rate; effects on blood; nausea; vomiting; unconsciousness and possibly coma; and shortening of the menstrual cycle in women.
Swallowing very high levels of acetone can result in unconsciousness and damage to the skin in your mouth. Skin contact can result in irritation and damage to your skin.
The smell and respiratory irritation or burning eyes that occur from moderate levels are excellent warning signs that can help you avoid breathing damaging levels of acetone.
Health effects from long-term exposures are known mostly from animal studies. Kidney, liver, and nerve damage, increased birth defects, and lowered ability to reproduce (males only) occurred in animals exposed long-term. It is not known if people would have these same effects.
