I know this is not really a metal working item but indirectly it is. I am trying to build a metal storage rack out of black ABS sewer pipe. The problem is that the regular yellow ABS cement does nothing. I even tried straight MEK and straight acetone with no success. The annoying thing is that in the recent issue of HSM a guy says he did just that- built an ABS storage rack and bonded it together with ABS pipe cement. When one glues an ABS coupler to an ABS pipe you have about 5 seconds to get it all correct otherwise a sledge hammer will not break the bond. Not if used externally apparently.
I figure with the wide range of experience of the membership here someone will be able to direct me to some solvent that will melt ABS pipe.
