I have posted about using MEK on here before and my results are essentially the same as the guy in the addendum to this post http://vfrworld.com/tex_vfr/tech/plastic.htm . For a mixing container I use a Mason jelly jar because it is air tight. Put in some MEK and ABS pipe scrap or other source and let sit overnight. For a working container, margarine tubs work great. The MEK will not dissolve them and after it sets up the remainder can be pealed off and put back in the Mason jar. After a month or so the ABS in the jar gets a bit thick so add a bit more MEK to it and it will become usable once again. The thickened MEK ABS putty can be worked using your fingers and pushed into place. MEK can be absorbed through the skin but it is not a really terrible substance although it is not good for you either so I would not be wanting to do a lot of hand work. As an applicator I mostly use an old blade screwdriver but have on occasion cut strips from a marg tub to spread with. Anything left over on the screwdriver can be cut off and put back in the jar. Almost forgot, to apply straight MEK to a hairline crack a hypodermic syringe bottle can be used. I got one from a plastic shop for a few bucks. Works great.
