Salicylic acid dissolves very hard in collodion with castor oil

Salicylic acid 17, 5g acetone 5g collodion with castor oil AD 50ml The salicylic acid dissolves very hard, only after heating, but after cooling off a thick mash

Answer

I would add 10 ml of denatured alcohol. Perhaps better stay overnight in small closed jar on magnetic stirrer   because when heating evaporates acetone and alcohol.
