      I tried this and after melting down the plastic and rolling it out, it never fully hardened. The edges got crispy but the middle was still gewy. Do you have any suggestions? (I used both nail polish 100% acetone and just pure acetone to melt the plastic)

    I am in love with this technique. I watched this months ago and have saved my sprues, today I bought a jar and three small bottles of acetone for less than £10. I'm amazed at how much Ewwy Gooey Spruey Stuff I have been able to make from what I had and with such ease. I was worried about what it would be like working with, it getting in contact with skin/surfaces and of course you should take care but it is far easier to work with than I had imagined. Thanks a million buddy!

    since you’re already using a roller. Have you tried using a texture roller on the panels after they’ve set a bit in the grease paper but before they’re hard? Could see some good pre-made sci-fi scraps, walls, or ruins using that instead of just the plain panel. Just a thought. Keep up the good work👍🏻

  • @j453
    @j453 4 роки тому +1

    I have a few questions. Firstly an observation. The acetone is changing color after melting the sprue bits. That makes me wonder, is it leaching something out of the polystyrene.
    What is it leaching out?
    Next, is the polystyrene as strong still once it re-hardens? Has it become more brittle, or more flexable at all after the proccess ?
    And lastly does plastic cement still glue it together as nicely?

    • @romanjustroman7445
      @romanjustroman7445 4 роки тому +1

      Yeah I had the same idea. If the color changes, then the plastic is not the same chemically as it was initially. I wonder what will happen when he melts these panels or any recast sprues, will the acetone change its color or stay clear this time.

    • @MiniatureHobbyist
      @MiniatureHobbyist  4 роки тому +1

      The acetone changes a different colour depending on the original colour of the sprue so Im guessing its the dye used in colouring the sprue. It doesnt seem brittle at all, especially considering Im making the panels quite thin. It still glues well using cement glue so doesnt seem like it has changed in any way =)

    This is inspiring and certainly a great way too recycle the plastics.
    SERIOUS QUESTION :: What about smells and odors or other hazard aromas? Does the melted plastic leave a smell once you leave it in the Acetone? Certainly, the jar must get hot too with the chemical reaction?
    Are there any hazards we should be made aware before we tackle this same process?

  • @Sheevlord
    @Sheevlord 4 роки тому

    That's a really cool way to recycle plastic waste! I expected the panels to shrink and/or warp as the acetone evaporated. I guess they did so, but to a much lesser extent. I wonder if it would be feasible to squeeze the gooey stuff into a mold to perform a ghetto version of injection molding. That probably wouldn't work all that well. Another idea that would probably work better is to press something into the surface of the plastic sheet while it's still soft to make an impression. This could be a neat way to add texture.
    As for the solvent - wouldn't getting just acetone from a hardware store be much cheaper than acetone-based nail polish remover?

As in would it make the square shape look like a square shape with neat joins? Or would glue be the best option? Also, could one use acetone on a brush to create specific melted feature?

      This has been my concern with this channel too lol...a lot of these are great ideas but I have to wonder about the safety of it. I don't think you can just pour acetone down the drain. And you probably shouldn't be melting plastic in your oven. Not to mention some of the environmental impact. I'm sure at some point using too much acetone it would actually be better for your carbon footprint to just throw the sprues in the trash.
      Great videos, but I think Miniature Hobbyist is an Ork IRL. Like I'm pretty sure he could chop off his own arm and then sew someone else's arm on and he'd be just fine. If the rest of us were Orks, we'd wonder "Wot is dat wyrd 'un doin' wiv all dem kemikals? Uh Boss, is dat save?"

    I think you have the same snippers that I used to have. Given how much snipping of nibbly nobbly bits you do, check out the Tamiya snippers. They're about tripper the price but they cut through it like it's not there. Might make your nibbly nobbly life easier :)

    if you have a mold to make it round, would this work as well? I can see it as an easy way to replace broken bases

    I just tried this. Put a heavy book or brick or something on top of it after you're finished rolling to get it perfectly flat. I'm gonna try a vice and a board tomorrow.

      Hey thats awesome, Im gonna try it again and not move the panel for 24 hours to see if it stays as smooth as ice =)

    would using sheets of metal help making it flatter/smoother?

    Have you thought of making moulds with engine gasket silicone, and ovening them?

      I havent but I have used high temp silicone moulds in the oven =)

    Some may say the irregularities in the panels is good for inherent texture

    Love the videos do you think these would be soft enough to take a textured rolling pin over after the initial flattening process? Also how long does the slurry you create last in the jars?

      Thank you, I reckon you could make impressions with a roller, when I made the Great Unclean One I had sprues in the jar for about 7 weeks before the acetone dried up and I had to put more in =)

    The panels look like they harden after the acetone dries off. Is that true? Looks like it'd be a great way to get curved panels. Press the panel against a curved surface like the outside of a jar (lined with greaseproof paper), leave to dry. Really love this video! Looks like building the ork fortress is going to be a pretty cheap job now. Thank you!

    This is an excellent idea. I would be tempted to experiment with moulds also. Is it soft enough to use a cookie cutter on?

    Just what I was looking for to make some conversions on some tanks :D.
    Can you reuse he acetone at all? Or is it a case of a fresh batch each time?
