Hey I was trying to try and repair my fairings with abs filler. I decided to make my own with abs plastic and acetone as I have read on here before about people making there own. Im having only one problem finding the abs fittings or pipes to melt down. I called home depot, lowes and a local plumbing place and they all said they dont have this. Just wondering where or if anyone knew where I could purchase some abs pipe or fittings? thanks!

Why go to all the trouble of making your own when you can buy a can off the shelf at that same Home Depot? It's labeled ABS cement. If you need to thicken it up you can leave the lid off for a while (stir occasionally) until enough acetone evaporates to bring it up to the thickness you want.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys. Well I went right to the home depot and went to the plumbinging section. I looked for about 5 minutes and finnaly found the abs pipes. They sell about 2 feet of pipe for 90 cents. They have all different sizes to. The fittings are alot more expensive than the straight pipe.

Well I chopped up that platic pipe that I bought yesterday and let it sit all night in acetone. Went and looked at it today and it didnt melt down. I checked the part number and it turns out it wasnt abs to begin with although it was black plastic. It says poly pipe on it. I called lowes and asked them to order a piece of abs pipe that I found on the website and there telling me they can't cause abs is illegal to use in ny state lol. So not to sure what to use now

If you absolutely want to do the ABs plastic routine, check out McMaster-Carr online
