You want a solvent type cement to make those clear joint.

Also, please not that you will need to have very clean joints or you risk having void's like in the pictures you have provided.

Thanks guys i found some of the liquid solving cement in my shack and suceesfully glued a piece of acrylic to another piece of acrylic. It is so goddam strong.

Well i have one more question, do u know how they make the edges so clean cutted. Do they have speical machines or do u have to buff it?

Most of the time you would use a table saw to cut it, then use a knife's edge to scrape the edge of the cut clean making sure that you keep it square.

The cleaner the edge, the more perfect the mating surface and the most perfect glued joint you will get.
