Will the acetone hurt the plastic slide end cap? I'll be careful not to get it doused. Thanks Bounty Hunter

Acetone can damage some plastics, but I have yet to see a reputable gun maker use plastic which is not acetone safe. The famous Gunscrubber cleaner is acetone. It does strip paint so be careful near sights.
