Couple weeks ago I asked if anybody knew how resilient resin was to acetone. I intended to use a resin print as a stand in an acetone vapor bath to vapor smooth ABS fdm prints. No one seemed to know but everyone seemed positive on this use case. I'm here to report back. It worked very well for 30 minute exposures. I used it to vapor smooth approximately 10 items so it was exposed to acetone vapor for approximately five hours with no signs of deterioration.
The last time I used it I put the airtight container away with the stand in it and it still had a little bit of acetone in the bottom. After a week of constant exposure (unintentional exposure) the print seems to have fallen apart. I can conclude short exposures to acetone shouldn't have too many negative effects but a prolonged exposure to acetone will cause the resin to deteriorate over time.
