That is some good stuff!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

That's how the stuff at work does it. No smell but thicker than that stuff and it WILL burn your skin.

As a matter of fact, I did a quick test, and the result is that it does very bad things to styrene plastic.
The melting process starts pretty instantly..

Powerful stuff all in all

Yeah I'm sure it will. It is a type of acid.

I kinda figured it was going to nuke plastic. Glad you did a test out of curiosity.

I used the stuff at work on some type of resin and it was ok.
