Congrats on getting it to work
10 degrees is a big difference. Maybe your thermometer sucks or is in the wrong place. Hold it in a boiling tea kettle and it should be exactly 100
deg. Try distilling it again and see if the purity improves.
He said it has BHT so therefore no peroxides. I doubt it would be a problem with normal acetone. Still never distill to dryness, etc.

Hmm when the thermometer was placed in a pot of boiling water, the temperature was roughly 103 degrees celsius. I did another distillation of some
other variety of nail polish remover and the temperature recorded was 63 degrees celsius. The composition was not listed for this particular nail
polish remover and it definitely does not smell like acetone. It smells like pvc solvent cement actually ._. any guesses on what it could be? thanks!

what was the thing about "be careful of organic peroxides"? as in Acetone Peroxide? or what?

Ketones form organic peroxides in the air? I thought only ethers can do that.
