I used to have a little bottle of some clear fluid, that would flow
into the cracks of polystyrene and similar plastics and "weld" the
crack.

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.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

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!

MEK is sold as Plastic Cement from Testors. I have a small bottle
on my desk as I write.

Testors part number 3502

I got this http://www.craftics.net/ShowItems.aspx?Category=130
(go down to Product #: 1106002-ret)
at my local Ace HW. It works great on styrene, Plexiglas, and
other clear mystery plastics that I've tried it on. I use a fine glass
pipette to apply it to the joint but the bottles on that web page
would probably work better.

Thanks, that's IT!

What was it called at ACE? I have one less than a mile away. But
surfing shows nothing. Of course it's a toss-up who has the worst

I don't recall what the packaging looked like but the bottle is as shown
on the Craftics site. Words on the glass bottle are "Craftics Plastick(sic)
Acrylic Solvent Cement" with the 1106002 number on the reverse.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Us "pansies" use a product to permanently weld together acrylic parts.

I have a can of it in front of me now.

I'm looking for a garget that will turn on the power to receptacle when the power is turned on at
another device. Such as having the sound system power up when the TV is powered up with the
remote. Yes the TV and/or cable box both need standby power, so it should be adjustable to a
degree.
