My chemical expertise didn't continue past high school (although I should have
taken chemistry in college instead of physics for my lab science, but
eighteen year olds can't be told anything--they know it all already), but that
makes sense, as if acetone is a solvent for Goo, the agent that evaporates
from Goo is chemically similar if not identical. Most of the AM freight cars I
bought from the Hoquat estate sale had the sheet steel weight Gooed to
the floor, generously-applied, and each had warped accordingly. I had to pry
them apart (no acetone on styrene!), scrape it all off, reshape the floors
and re-Goo--very sparingly--while clamping the floor and weight together. So
far it seems to have worked.
