At work we prep bonding parts and acetone sometimes works, but many oils (hydraulic, fingerprints) are unaffected by it at all. if you have an oily surface I would get a squirt bottle and wash down the area wiping afterwards with a clean rag using either of the two solvents lancair recommends, especially at critical bonds. that method has worked well for me. my 2 cents.
