Anyone out there that is dissolving Plexiglas in Acetone to make vacuum stabilizing liquid?
I put a few handfuls of Plexiglas in a quart mason jar and filled the jar with Acetone. The stuff just melted down to a big blob in the bottom of the jar. I stirred it up with a stick and let it sit 24 hrs.
The liquid on top was thicker than pure Acetone and I poured that off into another jar. Added more Acetone and stirred again. Tonight it will be 24 hrs. on the second addition of Acetone. At lunch time there still was a big blob of Plexiglas in the bottom of the jar.
Does the Acetone reach a saturation point that it won't melt any more? I plan on continuing to add Acetone allow it to dissolve Plexiglas and pour it off unless someone tells me I am doing something wrong here.
