laminating binding

[Martian]

i have not built in a long time, and was able to get whatever (wbw), I want from stew-mac, then " hazmat" comes into play. so, in the way of ABS plastic, will acetone bind plastic as well? thanks, you guys are life savers

It worked for me on the StewMac dreadnought kit I made a few months ago!

I made a rudimentary laminating jig by cutting a kerf in some 1" thick maple and lining the slot with wax paper. Then I just brushed on acetone about 6" at a time and fed it slowly through.

I then attached it to the guitar using the Weld-On adhesive from LMI (https://www.lmii.com/glue/2947-bindi...ent-15-oz.html). NFI in either company cited -- I just buy what I hear works.

Edit: You might be talking about adhering ABS to wood -- I'm not positive. I know that acetone binds it to itself, because I made a W/B strip with the above procedure. I've used the vinyl cement I linked to for ABS to wood, and celluloid to wood.
