Plug bore before acetone soak?

[Kck]

Wanted to see what y’all prefer on plugging a barrel or not before acetone soak when cerakoting. Obviously plug chamber and muzzle before blast and coating but I’m having a hard time finding out whether an acetone soak may/may not harm anything on the bore of a barrel. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

The bore will not be harmed in any way by acetone.

Pick your plug material carefully. Acetone isn't friendly toward many materials.

Since it will do nothing to the metal in your barrel except degrease it completely (the point) no need for a plug of any composition.

This is why (esp for chromoly, but I do it for stainless as well) I run a lightly oiled (Remoil) patch down the bore right after Cerakote. I don't want to tempt any flash-rusting.
