The MEK actually melts the joint together. From what I can tell from using CA, it just sits there on top of the material (doesn't absorb into the plastic).
Martin, I lost my sense of smell 10-12 years ago (probably from using MEK!), I can still kinda smell things but they don't smell the same. I can't describe what a wood fire or someone grilling smells like and all the expense women's perfume...smells like dirty mop water when they walk by
