Need Help MEK Paste?

[ShawnE]

Does anyone know how to make MEK paste?
Been using regular MEK out of a can, but it is too viscous. Bonding sheets of polystyrene with it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

You could try adding some polystyrene "powder" to the liquid MEK to thicken it up. In a pinch I've used the dust created by cutting material on a table saw to thicken glues.

Are you talking about polystyrene or pvc shavings?

Whatever material you are gluing, you are gluing polystyrene so I would use that. It's like adding fiberglass flakes to fiberglass resin to thicken it up.

Ok. That's good info. thank you.
Do you happen to know if they sell it premade?

Sorry, no. I know they sell something like that for MEK and ABS plastics, but not sure about polystyrene.
