Good solvent for polypropylene?

I realize its resistant to a lot of things, and so far the only common thing I have found is p-xylene... This is just for some silly tinkering project (Im in electrical engineering not chemical) Any ideas?

well.. I guess the real trouble is I dont have a lab to work in, and the solvent I use needs to be something I can get a a hardware store, etc.. i would also like to avoid heating a volatile a flammable liquid! The only problem I believe with the xylene is perhaps it's not polar enough to really dissolve a lot of the polypl.

Dear
Enigineeringman
;
Nearly all what is soluble in
Xylene
(o-, m-, or p-) is also soluble in
Toluene
.
To see several other Solvents you may read under Solubility on:
"
Polypropylene Literature Review
":

I hope I have been of help to you.
Good Luck!
