Yes acetone can be used to remove PMMA layer. Better to do at 60oC.

Alan F Rawle

Talha Nisar Interesting comment as acetone boils at 56 C. Are you recommending acetone in vapor form?

Alan F Rawle I know acetone boils at 56oC. I also have etched PMMA with acetone and I kept temp of the hot plate at 60oC and due to evaporation the temp of acetone doesn't go above boiling point but it accelerate etching rate
