Hi,
I've found a way to produce extra thin cement which works great;
I live in Turkey, here 40 ml green cap Tamiya extra thin cement costs 123 Turkish liras (6.31 USD, 5.76 Euros, 5.06 GBP)
Firtstly you need to buy %99 Acetone and Buty Acetate. 1 liter of Acetone plus 1 liter of Butyl Acetate costs 250 Turkish Liras (12.84 USD, 11.72 Euros, 10.30 GBP)
Then Acetone and Butyl Acetate must be mixed %50-%50 in a chemical durable container (Those two are corrosive materials for plastics and acrylics), and sometimes there can be some residues in chemicals so when you pour your chemical it may be good to use tea strainer.
And i've done some experiments, more butyl acetate means faster curing time but i don't know the exact proportions.
As conclusion you can produce two liters of same material istead of 40 ml for about 2x price by this way.
By the way i've learned it from some youtube guys, special thanks to them.
Warning: Those two materials are hazardous, so always use protective equipment, when working on.
