Try a 3rd one with some kind of acid. Muratic acid is cheap and may attack it. I know it's one of the few things that shows Nylon its pimphand.

Well that was interesting. I forgot about my little experiment last night, but just remembered so both samples got a 2 day soak instead of 1.

The NinjaFlex in denatured alcohol sample showed no noticeable difference, I'm not surprised.

The NinjaFlex in acetone sample didn't dissolve, it actually swelled from 1.75mm to 2.2mm, but otherwise seems quite intact. It'll be interesting to see whether it shrinks back down when left to dry.

thats pretty much what i figured on the acetone. if you let it set out for a day it will go back.
