I know it has been mentioned a few times deep in threads, but figured I'd
pass this on as a top-level topic since there is a new video of using a
Presto deep fryer / steamer as a cheap acetone vapor container for

And be sure to check out the link he points to as his inspiration for some
great results: http://www.soliforum.com/topic/448/diy-smoothing-station-ii/
I just wish I could get that nice translucent ABS in 3mm :-\
Cheers,
