Is there any acetone in nail varnish?

Good point - I'd read the post as nail varnish remover - but imagined the last word. That said although I have never used nail varnish I suspect it's the same solvent.

That had never occurred to me

Any good on cranksets too ? The Deore ones on my Inbred are in a sorry state

Probably won't hide heal rub well, but I use it on my black SRAM cranks that regularly take rock hits on the end of the crank arms.

Ever consider using crankarm boots ? They are for carbon cranks but maybe they would be good for normal ones too ?
 
I'd be extremely wary about getting acetone anywhere near a critical plastic component. A single drop of acetone could be catastrophic to carbon fibre
No, not so.

It does absolutely nothing to carbon fibre composites.

If you don't believe me, I'll send you a jar of acetone and a piece of carbon fibre so you can experiment for yourself.
