Default Too much soaking

I would watch your tires closely when they are in the Acetone. I've had Losi off-road tires shrink to half their size from leaving overnight in Acetone.
I only use the Acetone soak if for rims. Boiling works better for saving tires. Turn down to a low simmer and leave for a few hours (don't let the pan run dry). The tires will almost fall off.
Then you can soak the rims in the Acetone to remove the rest of the CA from the bead area.
