Straight acetone will murder ABS plastic (if you want to do some fake plastic welding, acetone works pretty well).
That'd be relatively ineffective plastic fusing if tried with acetone. It's done properly with a MEK, usually with acrylic in solution to thicken it up a bit. It's also called solvent bonding.

Plastic welding involves compressed air, heated in the welding gun and welding rod made of a compatible plastic. Strips of Mac or PowerBook Case Plastic for our uses.
