Acetone? I was using acetone last summer and had white spots on my clients nails. With the eco soak I have had none of it and a quicker soak time. I also heat my mitts with rice pads. On my clients who have gel nails I do the same thing except when I am done applying the soak to the second hand I start removing it from the first hand , it has softened up and files off quickly and doesn't have alot of time to damage the gel enchancment. I have found when I just file off with a barrel bit clients hate the heat. So it is soft and removes quickly. On Apr 27, 2011 8:40 PM, "Pat.
