PVC paste.....is it possible?

[gazmosis[501st]]

I have seen some real artistry from troopers who have adapted parts and done repairs using ABS paste(ABS scraps mixed with acetone). Has anyone tried this with the PVC that RS armor is made from?

I asked that question before but from the feedback they said acetone only makes PVC soft but unlike ABS which makes it runny and watery. I DO use ABS paste on my RS PVC though to fill up cracks and holes. I just paint it white (since ABS is a little more off white than PVC) after and you hardly notice the difference!

But the ABS paste sticks to the PVC?? Great!!!!!

Works like a charm mate! It melds and becomes one with the PVC so to say...haha!

Although I haven't tried it, I would assume pvc shavings in pvc pipe cement would make pvc paste. I'll have to try it later--I've got some pvc cement and fittings at home.
