Can Acetone remove Vinac from Fossils?

Hey everyone,

 

Today I worked on applying vinac to plant fossils and messed up on one fossil and I was wondering if there was anyway to remove vinac from a fossil? Could acetone work? Any suggestions are wanted! Thanks!

Since it was likely dissolved in acetone in the first place, it would stand to reason that you could reverse the process with it.

Be very careful not to damage your fossil ( not knowing what form of preservation you are dealing with )  if you are wiping or brushing the Vinac from it.

Good luck, let us know how this works out
