I got a pint of Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) at
Home Depot about 2 years ago...
I will try mixing some with extra plastic to
increase the viscosity.
I have a darkroom exhaust fan and that's my
place for such work.
How about the typical plastic plumbing pipe solvents??
(Rummaging in shop...) OK:
1. Oatey 'cleaner' for CPVC or PVC or ABS
"contains MEK and Acetone"
VOC 850G / Liter (Means 'almost all solvent')
and
2. Genova Nove Weld P (For PVC Pipe)
"contains tetrahydrofuran, cyclohexanone and
dimethylforamide"
There must be a specific glue for the (usually gray)
ABS conduit. Bet that would work...
Dave, what did you use to apply and control the glue??
Where did you apply it on a typical brick, so that
it was drawn into the joint but didn't appear outside??

| Terry, I use acetone for gluing. I put a piece of blotter paper in a small metal container, and add just enough MEK or acetone to make it very wet. Then I push to bottom of a brick into the blotter paper and hold it there for 1-2 seconds. Then snap (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| Plastruct makes a glue (actually a solvent) that works well with ABS (along with most other Styrenes). I believe the solvent is based on Methyl Ethyl Keytone. Fumes are pretty nasty, and I believe the solvent is classified as a carcinogen in (...) (24 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
