Lemon Juice does dissolve paper.

You can use lemon juice to dissolve paper using a stove and a cooking pot.

With a little heat and some acidic liquid, you can dissolve paper pretty quickly and efficiently.

To dissolve paper using lemon juice, pour five cups of lemon juice into a cooking pot.

While the lemon juice is heating, cut the paper by hand or with scissors into half-inch pieces.

Smaller pieces dissolve in the liquid quicker than larger pieces.

Acetone does not dissolve paper when used in small quantities.

However acetone is used to dissolve ink on paper and as long as you don't pour acetone on the paper or soak the paper in acetone then it shouldn't dissolve the paper.

Acetone is a powerful organic solvent that can be used to easily and quickly remove ink from paper.

Acetone is one solvent that will remove ink from paper, and if applied correctly, it does not saturate the paper as much as other solvents.

Acetone can be purchased at many stores, including hardware and beauty supply stores.

Acetone is a great solvent for this particular plastic, so when the cup is placed in acetone—or when you put a few drops of acetone in the cup—the small amount of plastic present in the cup dissolves and the cup rapidly disintegrates."

How do you remove acetone from paper?

Apply some of the dish washing solution with a white washcloth to the acetone residue and for a few minutes, work in gently from the edges of the spill to the center.

Don't rub. Continue until the spill is completely removed.

Blot the liquid up with another white cloth for as long as it absorbs the acetone solution.
