I couldn't agree more! I am a South African State Pensioner. I have learned to make lots of stuff on KZbin that has saved me a lot of money. A few weeks back I paid almost R400 for a tin of waterproof varnish. Since then I have seen two ideas on KZbin that might have saved me that money! Since 1986 I have been making milktarts from a recipe I got from a book and have got over a lot of financial hurdles with just that one recipe. But first you need Imagination. Einstein himself said 'Imagination is more important than Knowledge' and he was right because once you have Imagined the thing the knowledge WILL come to you. Somehow.

Those are very humbling statements from both of you friends (GodisGoodAlways and Susan Collins) 😍🥰 I often say . . . there is a BIG difference between having knowledge or rather more like "awareness" (usually from school and education) versus the PRACTICAL things that YOUUUU CAN do RIGHT NOW or TODAY with that knowledge or "awareness". The **YOUUU** part is extremely critical becuz a degree in Nuclear physics (No matter how deep the knowledge) might Not result in YOUUUU being able to (or being ALLOWED to) do much with it in your SHORT remaining LIFETIME as a nuclear engineer with that knowledge, you are often STRICTLY CONSTRAINED to only PARTICIPATE in what the world of nuclear science HAS BEEN doing since 1950 🤨🙄. A degree in medicine also usually does Not result in ANY doctor coming up with a "cure" for cancer, diabetes, high blood or heart disease, Not even a cure for "flu" after 350 years of modern medicine 🙄. What we see shared in these videos however, is information and knowledge that CAN READILY and INCLUSIVELY CHANGE the RIGHT NOW situation (often challenging, desperate or even "hopeless" situation) of MANY people's lives (and INCLUSIVELY so) . . . from India to Peru, Romania to Chile, or even Haiti to Africa 🥰🥰😍😍.

No need if you use a shallow tray (metal or polythene). The plastic will dissolve from a sheet. Just leave it submerged overnight and give it a good mix in the morning. Just ensure it's covered over to prevent all the solvent evaporating. Worked for me.

Fun trick. Drop Styrofoam in acetone and it turns into this smooth plastic sludge. However, As the acetone evaporates, the consistency gets more putty like. Eventually, it hardens into solid polystyrene. I have used it to plug holes in concrete before.

And it's useful almost instantly too if you don't overdo the acetone (or mineral turps, which also works but to a lesser extent). Adding the acetone to the styrene foam helps here, or adding styrene to a small jar of your chosen thinner until it doesn't dissolve any more. I've used it in numerous applications but the most impressive was arguably replacing a nut and lock on a bicycle's crank.

Most people who have a 3d printer will use acetone for cleanup and for better adhesion on the hotbed. You take scrap PLA plastic and melt it in the acetone and store it in an old rubbing alcohol container then brush it on as needed, I have one that is black and one that is white being those are the two most used colors. Thanks for the video, I had no idea how strong the plastic is when used this way.

If you have lego bricks laying around, they are made of ABS as can be used for the purpose in the video. Just put them in a non-plastic container with the acetone, wait for them to dissolve, and you're good to go with multicolored goop (or liquid plastic).

I am experimenting with melting plastic but this method seems so much better. I may combine chemical and heat metling because I have to make the moulds with silane modified polymer. My experiment will eventually be most like the wonderful hard handle you made for the screwdriver. The glue was also amazing. II've got more than one jar because I want to try with all different types of plastic or acetate. Look I actually knew about this because I once tried to clean a sheet of acetate in a bath of acetone only to have it melt. almost completely That it would succeed so well as you showed I had no idea.

Re the ratio pf plastic:acetone, is there a formula- weight:volume perhaps- that'll produce the consistency of that shown in the vid, or does one simply guesstimate? Also, can more plastic or acetone be added after the fact to thicken or thin the original mix?

You can just add chunks of styrofoam to a few ounces of acetone until you get the consistency you want and, yes, you can add acetone or styrofoam as you go to get it just right.

I'm sure that the video shows acrylic (Plexiglass). Acetone will not dissolve polycarbonate (Lexan). However, acetone will dissolve acrylic slowly, methylene chloride will dissolve it faster, toluene will dissolve it even faster. But for the best results use chloroform. Also, chloroform makes the best adhesive for acrylic. With a little bit of practice (and a hypodermic syringe) you can make completely invisible welds in acrylic.

@@randomamerican471 I think there's an assumption any chlorinated solvent is potentially carcinogenic based on carbon tetrachloride's link and I keep seeing speculative warnings about chloroform, too, and now, like you about, dichloromethane. But I also saw the same warning about acetone somewhere today while looking this stuff up. I dunno where you live but in the US, anything to do with chemicals or chemistry is widely perceived as hazardous. If it doesn't cause cancer or make your kids grow antlers, then it's explosive or else you're making drugs! It's pretty easy to get spooked but, in the end, I agree with you: as long as you don't pass out with your nose in a tube of model glue for 45 minutes (like a friend of mine once did) or bathe in it, just use some care and you should be fine. Btw,i believe that DCM in a closed bathroom can kill you. I once had a close call when a half gallon of chloroform broke in a storage locker I was working in. But this post is long enough, sorry. One last thing: packing peanuts or the little beads that fill bean bag chairs are excellent sources of easy to dissolve in acetone polystyrene -- even at room temperature. What are knife scales?

Can it be made self levelling by adding more acetone to thin it more?
@dtrotteryt
@dtrotteryt Жыл бұрын
Yes, but it will take longer to set due to the extra acetone that needs to evaporate. I tested this with an idea I got from this video. I have several old screwdrivers with hard plastic handles. I was able to make new ones or repair some using the same method he did, except I added more acetone so I could pour it into the molds I had created.

@@dtrotteryt Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I sort of figured it may take longer to set up but I was thinking it could be useful in a box where you want the bottom to be sealed. If you could pour it in, have be self leveling and still nice and clear I would think there'd be lots of places one might find it convenient.

@@dale1956ties I tried it with abs a while back, I'd seen videos about abs glue and 3d print smoothing. I made an abs slurry and put into an silicone mold, it shrank a bit. I did not vacuum it. It was plastic from a broken latop fan base. I'm assuming that it was real abs and not some type of mix,

if the acrylic dissolves anyway, except for the video to show dissolving time, is there need to cut the pieces so small? Can you add bigger pieces and more acetone as you go along? What other plastics does this work upon?

You could probably make something with water bottles or clear pastry packaging ,like moulded art work ,beads or relief work. You could probably add acrylic paint or acrylic nail polish.
