You know, I used to do this as a teenager, when cleaning my bearings with acetone, and I recall my family needing to get the sink repaired due to leakages getting quite severe at times.

Only through this post have I come to realise, 20 years later, that I was most likely at fault for the issue.
I mean I'm still not going to admit it to anyone, but it's good to know and stuff.

Except admitting it to 50,000 lemmy users, haha. No worries, I didn't know acetone ruins pvc until this post either.
