DIY Film editing cement = nail polish remover?

[fraalex]

It makes me think about: are the lots of chemicals, some very dangerous, in industrial film cement, only to make you think that is impossible to make your own cement? METHANOL, for instance: it takes no reaction on film base. I guess that is a trick of the tail.

Well, only acetone and clean film base works, melt and bond film as industrial cement.

Always on the look out for DIY no-budget ways of doing things, I recently noted that film cement can be made by adding tiny bits of film leader to an amount of acetone. Can anyone on the forum confirm or deny this? Also, because I'm a cheap skate (and proud of it), is there any worth in using cheap nail polish remover (which appears to be about 80% acetone) as a viable alternative?

Trying something new is always good.
If you are thinking of using nail polish remover consider using cheap nail polish.
