One form of standard plastic cement for model aircraft is polystyrene dissolved in MEK. You can also get an MEK-based plastic adhesive that you apply with a brush; it softens the areas to be joined.
You need to be careful around these ketones, though - quite apart from any toxicity and flammability, issues they'll strip the fat and oil from your skin in no time flat. I grew up with these things - my father was an industrial chemist. We had a whole rack of small tins in the kitchen of various solvents; extremely useful when trying to get stubborn stains off things. I can't remember them all, but they included white spirit, several alcohols, (methyl, ethyl, butyl), acetone, MEK, some other petroleum derivatives, etc. > MEK is fairly toxic compared to alcohol and acetone and dissolves a lot of > things one normally finds around electronics, especially a lot of plastics. > > Herb... > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Andre Langevin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 4:36 PM > Subject: Re: Lens Cleaning Problem > > > > "... to remove any tape residue later you can do so using de-natured > > alcohol, acetone or Methol-Etyl-Keatone (MEK).
