Lacquer thinner would be the "traditional" method, but I use acetone 
because it dries very quickly and therefore can be mechanically/final 
voiced sooner.

My 2¢.

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

---Wm. Shakespeare - Merchant of Venice
