    OK just saw this and I had to bring it to your attention I have no idea about the long term affects on the PLA so it is up to you to decide but it looks extremely interesting as an EXTREMLY quick and easy way to increase product flexibility form almost nothing to that of the flexible nylon we have all seen.

    Any here are the three links
    the last one shows the exact process and he actually works on a few pieces in the video before and after is amazing.

    The first two deal with the results

    here they are and let me know what your thoughts are on this

    Turns out that ethyl acetate (sold as MEK substitute) actually does the same thing! Blog post coming soon.

    So methyl ethyl Jerome MEK works, or just the ethyl acetate?

    The stuff labeled as 'MEK substitute' is actually mostly ethyl acetate. I've never tried actual MEK.
