Hi J...

>No. Acetone is fast drying. Xylene is slow drying, so he'd want to use more
>Xylene.

Actually that's what I originally thought too, and you and I were
right!

Here is the data on the evaporation rate of these two chemicals:

Xylene:
  0.7 (compared to Butyl Acetate = 1)

Acetone:
 12.0 (compared to Butyl Acetate = 1)

So yes, acetone dries faster than xylene!

Here's where I got this data:

Thanks for the clarification!
