The only can I see with a red label in the picture says "Methyl Ethyl Keytone". That sounds like a cleaning solvent. You sure is what you use as an ABS adhesive, russau?

Yep! The label on the can says its for (among others) ABS . Once it has cured ,you cant tear it apart ! it becomes one!

Where did you purchase the ABS sheets? Is it 1/4" thick or less?

Here in St Louis Misery there is a plastic supplier and they have what ever I needed.

Been working on her for over a year as time and money allowed. 7.5 feet long and 14.25, 14.75 and 15.25 inches wide. The Highbanker section is not on her in this picture, that image will be coming soon. I just need to get the legs on it first. The 3" dredge can that Mike(SWWash) built for me last winter will be powering this monster. Thanks again Mike!
