I was doing some model making in my office as I'm want to do from time to time (love warhammer) and I use tamiya thin modeling cement that basically smells like acetone. I believe the stuff is some mixture of acetone and butylacetate. Is there any danger of the fumes from that stuff affecting the integrity of my high pressure cf bottle?

I know that acetone can soften some epoxies if soaked for a while. I would expect that occasional fumes wouldn't bother our tanks at all.

I suggest that if the fumes haven’t killed you they are not going to do your bottle any harm but I wouldn’t use a hand pump or compressor in the same room , as once inside the bottle the fumes can’t evaporate away, more likely to damage the seals rather than the structure

I don't think the fumes could do very much as others have said. As a side not, I did a lot of model building when I was a kid. I built them from 2nd grade until my freshman year. I spent so much time building models in 8th grade using the better testors liquid glue that I almost had to repeat the 8th grade. Then my Dad told me to start opening the window when building them in my room, and things started getting easier in school again.
(this was a joke about sniffing glue for those wondering)
I would be more prone to worry if you're pumping them up, filling the bottles in the same room with the fumes.
