I'd like to smooth some model prints and chemical is the only practical method (detail too small for sanding).

Are there any ABS or ASA filaments that look silverish like Pla silk? I do want to waste money on another grey spool.

I'm not sure about your temps, I print all my pla including silks at 220.

results vary, i have some chinese stuff that turns into a mess anywhere north of 205. point still stands the stuff they add to silk won' hold up to ABS temps.
