Plexiglass adhesives?

[Johnny X]

I am have the materials for making my plexi case, the onlything i need is an adhesive. I plan on using 1" cubesin some corners, but the edges still need to be adheared together, so what is the best kind of glue for the job?

I will post pics during the construction phase. Also, I plan on sandblasting one side so I can put some sort of logo. I was just wondering what you guys might think is cool to have on the side of a case with red or blue lights shining through.

Thanks

For glueing plexi, use Weld-On.

I have Weld-On 16 (i think) but it's a tiny bit thicker. I think the Weld-On 40(?) is the thin stuff. You can apply this on the edge of the joint, and it will fill in due to capilary action & glue the pieces together.

Or in a pinch I went to the hardware store and grabbed a can of
PVC cement from the plumbing section.

I have used the red can and the gold can.. they both work...
Pick.. they are local and cheap...

If you put it on too thik the red can does not drie optically clear.

Industrial Strength Velco is always can option. You can easily remove the window later if needed.

I use Tapp Acrylic Cement its thinner than water and you use a syringe to apply it. You have your edges clamped together and it is sucked in by capillary action.
I would suggest reading these 2 articles by linear on building an acrylic case.
