I have always just used the acetone bath and never for more then 24 hours. In addition, I let the stock dry for a few hours only before I begin applying finish (typically Tru-Oil with a rag). Others may disagree (as is their right) but I've done 7-8 stocks this way and have always been very pleased with the results.
