I am making that coil-dope that someone here (Robert Eleazer?) suggested.

It is a lot cheaper than SuperGlue...

Very interesting.

I am using an empty, cleaned, Litehouse dressing bottle. I poured it about 1/2 full of MEK and 
began adding whole 12 oz. sized styrofoam cups.

So far, I have added exactly 1 dozen cups.

The volume does not appear to have increased, but the dissolving is going more slowly and 
the "stuff" is gettiing thicker...slowly.

Still not "honey-thick' though...

Bits of undissolved styrofoam floating around in it so far.

It MIGHT take one or two more cups...
