Where I can buy it, and roughly what it would cost per quantity.



I'm looking to use it as a solvent for ABS plastic to turn it into a moulding/adhesive paste instead of Fibreglass when I build the new screen surround I'm working on, for the car PC.

LOL. Might be easy. And I had thought of that as a source, but they all seem to be going "Nail Friendly" ATM, "No formaldehyde, Toluene, Acetone/Propanone, or othr toxic chemicals". Where is the fun in that?

I want all the toxic crap to play with.

Try your local chemist. I got some IPA from mine - after the third degree on what I wanted it for.

But the best place to ask - for near anything ;-) is

Cheers, will pop in and give them a try.

Enough replies already. Fantastic.
