Default What's it called

I can't find it anywhere by surfing.

With the pansies in power it's probably illegal now :-)

Finally heard a good explanation of global warming... it's caused by
the intense flow-rate of money from the wallets of the ignorant into
Al Gore's pockets.


Methyl-ethyl ketone, MEK. It's similar to acetone, but with one more
CH2 group embedded in it.

To make glue for polystyrene, dissolve some styrofoam peanuts in some.

I think that it will work on acrylic, but you need to be really really
patient.

And in any case, if you get any on the surface, it will wrinkle or craze it.

Or you could look for some toluene - that's what the original "airplane
glue" used.

Good Luck!
