Mek in the original formulation mixed with some acetone and added shavings or kerf from cutting the acrylic works wonderfully and USED to be cheap.

Went looking for MEK at the orange store the other day and all they had was synthetic. Guess I'm screwed when my 5gallon can goes empty.

The colder it gets the more brittle it becomes. @-20f you can break 1/4" with a good snap bend. You also don't want it above 160f where it becomes soft like artists clay.
