Fusing acrylic sheets.
Rather than working as a simple adhesive acrylic cement creates a chemical reaction.
This is because in order to properly connect acrylic sheeting the adhesive solvent needs to be placed along the joints to ensure a durable finish.
This can take many passes to complete so be patient and precise.
Acrylic is typically glued using solvent based glues such as weld on 4.
This video segment will show you the basics of gluing acrylic.
It appears virtually colorless until your view is drawn to the dramatic green edge.
The viscosity of the glue enables it to fill all the gaps or cracks between the two surfaces.
When household gluing two objects or materials are joined together by simply applying a viscous adhesive or glue between the two surfaces.
The process of gluing acrylic is slightly different than the process of gluing other substances such as paper or wood together.
To cut acrylic sheets start by marking the line you want to cut using a ruler and a permanent marker.

How to glue acrylic.
To glue acrylic with solvent glue typically a squeeze bottle applicator with a needle tip is used.
For acrylic sheets thinner than inch use a scoring which will produce a deep scratch rather than the chipping effect you d get from a hardened wheel.
Then score the line using a plastic scoring blade using the ruler as a guide so your line is straight.
In fact gluing acrylic sheeting together is considered joining rather than gluing.
The concepts shown here also apply to other plastics with gluing properties similar to acrylic.

Acrylic is a wonderful plastic that can be used for all sorts of different projects.
Unlike many other gluing processes acrylic glue softens the surfaces of the acrylic and welds them together chemically bonding the two pieces into one.
