Needs some advice about buying Acetone.
Where I can buy it, and roughly what it would cost per quantity.
I'm looking to use it as a solvent for ABS plastic to turn it into a moulding/adhesive paste instead of Fibreglass when I build the new screen surround I'm working on, for the car PC project.

You might also try phoning round chemical suppliers and asking them. Often drums of stuff can be surprisingly inexpensive, especially if the company in question offers free delivery, as some do. |

About a pound a litre in any French supermarket or Band Q equivalent
(and up to £300 quid to get there depending on where you live and how long you go for) But you may know someone going there soon ? Worth having a look at what's available over there - all sorts of things that aren't available here easily - and some that I wouldn't carry just chucked in the back of a car !

Hmm, why not use proper filler, or add microbaloons/talc etc to a resin. Acetone+pvc makes a real mess, the fumes will blow your head off and its not a good filler anyway even if you are filling gaps in pvc - its not very spreadable. -- |
