    The stuff works great at smoothing the outer layer of PLA

    Posted by Matt on Nov 7th 2023

    Methyl Acetate works great to smooth the layer lines on PLA. However, when it arrived, the box smelled like Methyl Acetate and the bag containing the bottle had some Methyl Acetate sloshing around. I checked the bottle and couldn't find the source of the leak, but it is worth noting. The bottle seemed at least mostly full.
