Needs some advice about buying Acetone.

and thus any other supplier (or perhaps user) of bulk grp stuff. ISTR that there were different grades of it at one time.

Excellent link thanks, can make a lot of use of stuff there.

Cheers.

Another good link thanks, a little more expensive than what Autolycus pasted, but that has been bookmarked too, always good to check alternatives.

Excellent.

See. I told you. ;-)

You might also try phoning round chemical suppliers and asking them. Often drums of stuff can be surprisingly inexpensive, especially if the company in question offers free delivery, as some do.

Thanks to everybody who posted with links and advice, will all come in useful.

About a pound a litre in any French supermarket or Band Q equivalent

(and up to £300 quid to get there depending on where you live and how long you go for)

But you may know someone going there soon ?

Worth having a look at what's available over there - all sorts of things that aren't available here easily - and some that I wouldn't carry just chucked in the back of a car !

I wonder if they're still in the same old scruffy building as years ago? The one with the metal bladed extractor fan in the wall, with no guard and a small sign saying "Keep Your Bloody Fingers Out!" next to it?

Hmm, why not use proper filler, or add microbaloons/talc etc to a resin.

Acetone+pvc makes a real mess, the fumes will blow your head off and its not a good filler anyway even if you are filling gaps in pvc - its not very spreadable.

Ah the sensible approach to health and safety.

I know what you mean, a lot of the American sites I've read say just get=20 it from Walmart. Having said that Walmart also carries recharge kits for=20 DUY aircon refurbing in the auto parts aisle. Try that in ASDA.
