ANACS Grading question about PVC

I read on this board awhile back that if I submit coins to ANACS for grading and some come back as ungraded and marked as PVC damage that I can then re-send the PVC coins to ANACS as Regrades and state that they're PVC on the submission form and include $5 per PVC coin and ANACS will holder them in the old holders with a details grade and noting the PVC on the ANACS coin label. Is this true?

I believe the ONLY coins they will not holder are coins with active PVC.
rinse them in acetone and resubmit them.
They return it in a numbered flip.
You can resubmit it after you rinse it with acetone and send it back in the same numbered flip that they returned it in with a $5 fee and they will holder it in a no problem holder (assuming it has no problem).
Can a styrofoam cup or bowl be used to do the acetone bath?

Use glass. Acetone will attack some types of plastic (Some like acetone it will dissilve completely. Would you believe you can dissolve a rather large box of styrofoam peanuts into a cup of acetone?) and leave a contamination film on the coins
If you put acetone in a styrofoam cup the cup will dissolve and become like napalm and get plastic on the coins.
Use a glass

It would disolve the latex and then it would get on the coin.
