When the bottle is empty on my VHS tape head cleaner, is it safe to refill it with nail polish remover?

I was told that they are essentially the same chemical compound.When the bottle is empty on my VHS tape head cleaner, is it safe to refill it with nail polish remover?
No. Nail polish remover is basically acetone which will damage plastic and rubber parts over time. The cleaning solution in most head cleaners is alcohol based not acetone based. You can use regular isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) but it is best to use denatured alcohol.When the bottle is empty on my VHS tape head cleaner, is it safe to refill it with nail polish remover?
