Interesting Bit of Information

I haven't read anything about this here on Ecomodder, but I was doing some searching on ABS plastic and stumbled across this idea:

Take bits of ABS plastic, add acetone in an air tight and acetone safe container. Let set for few hours to days. You'll end up with an ABS putty. Stinks like high hell but I played around with this and it works!

The site I found it on had someone building a custom gauge pod into the existing dashboard of his car. He molded a custom bezel into the existing black trim ring around his factory gauges.

Was a cool idea, and the stuff is sandable afterwards. That means so of the more artistic ecomodders can mold or fill in those rough edges on those mods!

There was also reference to use MEK (fiberglass hardener I do believe) to achieve the same result. Either method yields a pretty unique product!
