Hai thar
just signed up to the new forum, pretty swanky. Anyway to the point:
I've just started repairing my fairings. I'm shaving up ABS plastic and then using acetone to chemically weld pieces together. Started today and so far have completely repaired one crack (and intentionally broken it again to see how strong it was --- strong =D)
However one of the fall backs of my system is that I'm using my newly purchased dremel to make shavings of ABS. It works, to an extent, but I think a fine powder would be much more desirable/effective.
Ideas?
at the moment I'm using an old rear cowl as my raw plastic =P
Maybe a coffee grinder could handle it?
EDIT: oh and if anyone could direct me to a link/thread where I could find out how to get my old (although still pretty noobish) postcount back etc that would be greatly appreciated =)
Cheers for any help =)[/i]
