Anna, I neglected to offer this solution at first, because any "liquid" cleaner
could potentially ruin your box, but since you have gone the acetone route,
which is fairly harsh, even when trying to be slow and careful...
I would instead suggest a product called "Goo Gone" instead. Its much more of a
gentle product to remove gummy substances and available at most hardware or
larger super markets.
