ABS is used in many interior plastics as well as motorcycle fairings. It is fairly hard, has a very distinctive smell when melted, smears and gets hairy when sanded at high speed. It does NOT have a waxy feel. Most street bike ABS plastic is black, and this black ABS welding rod makes it easier to hide the repair. Easy to weld using either Polyvance's airless plastic welder or when using a hot air plastic welder. This package contains 30 ft. (9.1 m) of BLACK ABS plastic welding rod. Each rod is 1 ft. (30 cm) long and 1/8th inch (3 mm) in diameter.
