Well, here goes my embarrassing post... I was trying to paint the shell of my tuner and i messed up on the paint, so i tried stripping it... when i used the acetone to strip it well...
bad idea.. needless to say i need a new shell because i screwed mine up.. how screwed am i? can i get a new one?
if you cant tell im bad at painting things.. I shall never attempt this again.. so mad!

Sorry, just now checking the forum. The tool still works it's just the front portion of the case that got messed up. The plastic got all soft and it disfigured it. I sanded is smooth (somewhat) but the circle part where the 4 directional button literally got eaten away. My method was working fine till I got distracted and forgot about it... The screws to hold it together just push right in, I didn't even have to screw them. I need a new faceplate... Was hoping someone had a broken one laying around I could use for parts or if I could buy a new shell. My buddy suggested I fiberglass a new one, but I'm no good at that stuff. If i can't find a donor tuner then I guess my tuner will have to live in the padded pouch I bought it. Haha.
