If regular old model glue doesn't work , you could try Gorilla glue- that stuff works on most anything!

Hey Chuck,
not a debate, but a legitimate question.
MEK is Methyl Ethyl Ketone. Is that the same as Methyl Isobutyl Ketone?
If there is a difference, please share this knowledge.
Thanks Brother!
Bill

While MIBK might be used as an indgredient of some styrene cements, this is the first time I have seen it mentioned by a modeler as a solvent glue. Here is what Wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_isobutyl_ketone )says about MIBK: Unlike the other common ketone solvents, acetone and MEK, MIBK has quite low solubility in water, making it useful for liquid-liquid extraction. It has a similar polarity to ethyl acetate, but greater stability towards aqueous acid and base. It can be used to extract gold, silver and other precious metals from cyanide solutions, such as those found at gold mines, to determine the levels of those dissolved metals. Diisobutyl ketone (DIBK), a related lipophilic ketone, is also used for this purpose. Methyl isobutyl ketone is also used as a denaturing agent for denatured alcohol. When mixed with water or isopropyl alcohol MIBK serves as a developer for PMMA electron beam lithography resist. MIBK is used as a solvent for CS in the preparation of the CS spray used currently by British police forces. While MEK can be easily purchased in hardware stores, I have never seen MIBK for sale locally. |
