Please remember to wear gloves. Acetone can probably dissolve and transport stuff through your skin that you don't want. 5200 is a urethane adhesive. I think a pretty benign one, but some urethanes are terrible central nervous system toxins. So I would use the edge of a chrome socket to form a fillet or at least gloved fingers. You might be able to wax or PVA dip a socket to help with the stickiness and/ or removal later. I would do a test run- this is just a suggestion.

Also, some solvents inhibit the cure of some systems. Denatured alcohol works fine with some epoxies, but inhibits some gel coats, for example. Ask me and my sander how I know. So test first and make sure it cures before you do the real thing.
