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. 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 WHITE ABS plastic welding rod. Each rod is 1 ft. (30 cm) long and 3/8th inch (9.5 mm) wide by 1/16th inch (1.6 mm) thick. There are approximately 116 rods in one lb. (0.45 kg)
