please be careful of acetone vapour - even experts have trouble with it.
"Bob Morton rose rapidly in the ranks at the University of Melbourne, became Professor of Agricultural Chemistry at the Waite Agricultural Research Institute, and then Chair of Biochemistry at the University of Adelaide in 1962. ..... In 1963 he was making acetone powder from yeast and the lab was full of acetone vapour. An imploding Buchner flask splashed acetone onto an electric motor and the resulting explosion caused his death and injured a technician. "
