  • @lynx - turns out I did know about your method you suggest but through different names.

    Okay so looking online I am struggling to find somewhere that stocks acetone on the shelf.

    Reading online there’s ‘nail polish remover’ acetone and then there’s ‘proper’ acetone. As far as I can work out, I want the proper stuff to use with abs shavings to make the gloop.

    Might double check in the motor shop for a kit. Normally they stock highly questionable items at fair prices.

  • Definitely 'proper' acetone - nail polish remover often has moisturizing oils and other skin friendly contaminants that you do not want if you're solvent welding.
    Try the 3D printing thread for ABS slurry recipes?

  • From being told on this very forum, there is no difference between 'proper' acetone and acetone nail varnish remover. Yes, I know.
