Used today to mix with abs pellets. Used to repair pool skimmer. So far all looks good. Used to mix with abs pellets we’d. need to wait 24 hours for product to cure. Filling the pool today so far it looks good.. good Stuff. After filling pool mixture worked and holding, love it. Review: Works as a thinner for contact cement, improves bonding of plastic parts! - Smells like acetone, but I don’t know what MEK should smell like. However, unlike Acetone, using this to thin the consistency of contact cement to glue PLA, makes the glued parts hold much, much stronger. Tester contact cement without thinning with MEK, could pull them apart 48 hours later. Parts glued by contact cement thinned with MEK, can’t pull apart without breaking the parts. So, it must be MEK, and it definitely works for thinning contact cement type glues, for plastic (PLA in my case). ## Features - Alliance Chemical High Purity MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone M.E.K) is refined for laboratory and industrial use, ensuring consistent chemical quality. - Effective industrial paint thinner and solvent for adhesives, varnishes, and resins.
