So I recently heard of a way to make liquid ABS to cast and fix broken fairings. It involves putting shavings of ABS plastic from any source into a sealed container with M.E.K. The MEK will eventually break down the shavings into a paste (thickness Dependant on how much MEK was used). Anyway I have had a hard time coming across places that actually just sells ABS products.

I've tried my local Hardware store, Home-depot, and others. So I'm here to ask if anyone knows a way to get ABS products (anything I'm going to shave it down anyway). Of if they know anyone with a broken fairing I could buy, pieces of fairings, etc.

Once I finally find some I'll wright a How-To with pics on how to create and mold it. Thank you so much everyone for the help, hopefully this will end up being a cheaper fix than plastifix.

 

ABS is used in plumbing... maybe try the plumbing aisle.

 

I did ABS used to be the black pipe used for drainage but most has been switched to PolyPropylene round here. I worked at a few of the hardware stores round the area.

Thank you sprock, I know plastifix is a great product and was thinking about going that route, but I found this way to be cheaper.(I get everything from eldredge at cost hehehe). just needed some abs to melt down but cant find any, gonna swing by the junk yard to see if they have any bikes. if so ill ninja a fairing off them. Just trying to see if i can fix my 2nd set of fairings I have laying around.

 

Thats a different product than they use in the appliance industry Sprock. The stuff I use has the part number PF041 and is uncured ABS. It is used as a liner repair. That may be another source of ABS for you shelves and the linings of dead fridges.

 

Most plastic car bumpers are ABS anymore I think
