-For say a 2" diameter jar with say 1/2" of bits o acrylic on the bottom fill up say... 1.75" of acetone. Stir occasionally ( hours apart ) and just let it work it's magic overnight.... LID ON THE JAR
-Keep waiting till it's 100% liquid that's not exactly water but not so much of a gel either, experiment with the consistancy on scrap arylic to find what you like to work with best... add acetone to water down, let set with no cover to thicken up.
-Apply carefully to one surface and push together.... let sit for a few hours and the bond is absolutly strong as hell.
Basicly all of that is to make a glue that more or less will melt the two pieces together into one, makes a crystal clear seam if done right.

Acetone... like good nail polish remover? (acetone based obviously)
