    If I put a towel underneath the ramp area I'm working on, would it be safe to work with this solvent in-game? I'm not a big fan of removing the ramps from certain games.

    Quoted from wantdataeast:

    This worked really great for me... Do you know how you removed a screw from a ramp and you can see bunch of little hair line stress cracks just waiting grow?

    The solvent will not react to metal, to fix all the hair line cracks around your screw holes (obviously this is AFTER you have removed the ramp) place your screw back in a bit, give the the screw a tiny bit of solvent right where it is touching the plastic.
    The capillary action will suck the solvent in the cracks. After a few seconds or so unscrew the screw and let it dry.
    NO more stress cracks.
