 Alan,Thanks' I heard that gasoline works but I only want to make a small hole in the tank, so it needs to all come out.  Hank

 Hank,I formed my ballast tank out of polystyrene, fibreglassed over the top& dissolved the polystyrene out with petrol. Petrol being cheaper than acetone.It dissolved it to a sloppy consistency that you could scrape out, but lefta hard shell of plastic in places. Maybe check a sample out to see how it dissolveswith  petrol & acetone.Alan

Hi All,I am going to repurpose a couple of dock floats that are ABS plastic I think and foam filled.  I need to remove the foam.  I understand that Acetone works for that.  I have never done this, so what do I do?  Hank
