If you use anything else, TEST on ABS to see if it melts the plastic (test on a small area on the underside of the ABS corrugated wrap, under where a fin will go.


I only have Tenax 7r here right now. It's methylene chloride, IIRC. By the time I drive 80 miles round trip or pay shipping for a small hobby bottle, I will end up paying as much or more for it than a small can of straight MEK from the local hardware store. I don't have time to start on the model right now, but I may go ahead and do some testing.
