50/50 mix. buy the the pellets ( its easier). Let the mix sit for a couple of days in a capped jar. Reinforce the underside if you can.

Welcome to the Portal from South Carolina. Use the "Search" feature in the screen upper right hand corner.
If you have just small areas you want to treat with a MEK/ABS slurry you can use kids' white Lego blocks which are made of ABS.
OR if you have significant damage and want to do the repair correctly and not ever have to deal with it again, read this thread - start with post #284.
I guess you haven't bought legos in a while , they are pricey! Lol.If you have just small areas you want to treat with a MEK/ABS slurry you can use kids' white Lego blocks which are made of ABS.

Also, depending on where you live MEK can be hard to find. You can often find an MEK alternative or use acetone to make the ABS slurry.

Trying to find a white ABS to grind up is the more difficult thing, since most ABS is black like the ABS pipes at the pluming shop. My son gave me some square ABS tubes. When I moved I got rid of them. Now maybe PVC will work???
The MEK I have always gotten it at Lowes on the same shelves as paint thinner, etc... Around here they have Quart and Gallon size. I belive it is the actual name, not MEK on the lable.

Some states, California, etc , its not alowed to be sold. You can order pellets on line. Any color. Most paint it with grizzle grip afterwards. So the color may not matter much. If it more then a few small cracks that your patching, i would think about removing the abs compleatly.
I have some pretty big areas on the abs to repair where should I start as it seems this abs slurry doesn’t really hold up. I also have a pretty big sag in the middle of the roof. How do I fix that.

Welcome from Dukes Fl. Good Luck with the roof repair.

Sorry, but I never cease to be amazed that so many people will pose technical questions about their camper for which they'd like an answer but won't tell us basic vital info like make / model / year of camper. In this case the OP has referred to "ABS plastic" so I guess we'd have to assume his camper is a Fleetwood, 'though other manufacturers did experiment with a seamless plastic roof during specific model years. Arrghh.
Sorry yes it’s a Coleman Fleetwood bayside that I’m looking to repair the sag in the roof.Sorry, but I never cease to be amazed that so many people will pose technical questions about their camper for which they'd like an answer but won't tell us basic vital info like make / model / year of camper.
