Another bit of useless knowledge.....if you were to ingest denatured alcohol your liver actually turns it into acetone. Before or after your dead im not too sure. Lol. Acetone does soften abs but only until it flashes off. You will have better adhesion with acetone as a thinner since it will open up the abs and the epoxy will bond. The acetone flashes off leaving only epoxy behind. Your part will not be left softened. Alcohol will generally work also, nothing wrong with it at all. You would probably not know a difference with either type of solvent but if you were worried about chipping for some reason you would certainly find acetone used as the solvent will provide a far superior bond and chip resistance.
awesome thank you!
