Amanda,

That is similar to what happened during my summer internship a few years
back... your bottle might be all acetone instead of the B-72-- if the batch
isn't mixed enough before they put it into the bottles, the acetone
seperates out (or something to that effect) and yours might be full of
acetone instead of the mixture. Best thing to do is call UP and
gripe/politely request a new bottle.
