|  Would the acetone in abs glue melt or stick to a lexan body?
Would the acetone in abs glue melt or stick to a lexan body? Just imagining making organic looking exocages by pouring the black plumbers abs glue over a body. Or trying to coat the inside to make a Hardbody. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |

You could test this on some lexan scraps. My guess is it will likely melt. Is the ABS glue similar to the MEK that we use on hardbodies? |

Abs glue is like acetone or mek mixed with abs bits that have fully melted into a solution. So it dries solid after the mec or acetone evaporates. I have an old tube of mek I got from a swamp cooler install. Mek is similar but it dosent dissolve as wide of a range of plastic and dries slower.

Using some scrap pieces, might I suggest giving Plastic Weld a try. Test ABS to ABS, ABS to Lexan, and Lexan to Lexan. The only "downside" is that Plastic Weld is black, but should have an incredibly-strong bond. ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |

I've used 50/50 water/acetone to try and remove paint from Lexan - it didn't melt it but it did turn it so brittle that it shattered.
