So today's exploits not this image this was yesterday actually It turns out I don't have enough ceramic wool to fill the foundry insulation fully
I expected this to happen so I'm gonna have to use some of my funds to order more
Today's exploits consisted of recycling all of the useless/failed ABS prints by dissolving in acetone
I woke up at 6 am and open telegram to look at messages and i fall asleep immediately with phone in my hand , and i had a dream that my ex sent me an AI video of : Diddy Netanyahu VS Epsteins Kirk

And thing is she totally could sent me this , so it's totally in realm of possibility

The one major issue with making abs epoxy(?) is that it significantly shrinks when the acetone dries which makes application complicated, on top of that the top layer dries out first leading to internal separation or extremely long cure times
I have noticed that it can form a very thin film over surfaces which will then dry quickly, and when partially dried it exhibits a sticky rubber like behavior that could be useful in some cases. A thin film surface might be useful when trying to seal materials like wood, although ABS is hydroscopic so it absorbs water which worries me that it may create an environment more favorable to mold and bacteria causing the wood to rot quicker which is the opposite of my intention
Later when cleaning out the small jar of the abs mix the partially dried leftover film in the jar quickly separated from the glass when water was added, leaving behind an extremely thin and malleable film like that of a plastic bag, except slightly sticky, no clue of any use for this though
I think that I will do more research on its properties to see if I should continue to look into impregnating hardwood with it to improve its qualities (red oak, specifically)
I'd imagine it will burn very well although it would be very toxic, people in the past have used hydrolysis or thermal cracking to turn waste plastic into low grade gasoline, that might be something to look into as well

Also wondered what other materials dissolve in acetone (plenty) but I put parafin wax in it and it looks like some dissolved but not alot the uses of which I have no clue but maybe there's a chemical that can reverse the shrinkage of the liquid abs when it dries
