<div id="aolmail_AppleMailSignature">Not sure whether you could pour it out. Mine was a large area though</div>

<div>Hi All,</div>
<div>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? </div>
