Ginda is correct about the volitility of acetone.  It does attack some 
plastics, though.  Particularly PVC.  Polypropylene and polyethylene are 
pretty much immune.

What about on a plastic primary, it wouldn't break down or try to melt
the plastic?

I use all certified organic practices, so I'm pretty sure this is
ruled out as a cleaner, but it's good to know there is something out
there high powered enough to defeat the goo.  I could always clean
something up & pass it on to someone who wasn't concerned with such
things.
