Good question! Have not tried it myself, but I need to stock up again soon so I might look for some alternatives and do another video if I find something good. Let me know if you are having a go at it yourself and what the results are.
It is a chemical bond so the layers basically fuse together. I know people build fish tanks the same way. Hopefully that gives you an idea. Have not tried building a table though.
Yep it does work on clear acrylic as well. The liquid is clear as water but will still mark it if you spill like I showed. If you bond it this way you will hardly see a join. But try on some scraps first to see what it looks like.
Hey! To be honest, I have not tried that yet myself. I hardly ever work with mirror Acrylic, but I would imagine the reflective surface will show the solvent between the two layers - if what you are trying to do is glue the clear on top of the mirror?
@@TwinSummitDesigns I have tried this and after discussion with a few in the space, double sided tape that does not rip the mirror base is the best way to go. If you explore something different please share.
Thanks for letting me know! I assume the clear acrylic is going behind the mirror acrylic then? If so, then that sounds like the way to go. I have also just tried using a Polyurethane glue on a sign Im making for someone and that worked very well. Just need to be careful not to squeeze it out on the edges because it dries white. I think that is also an option for you and less hazardous than the WeldOn. Not sure if you can get hold of this, but this is what it looks like: www.bunnings.com.au/sika-125g-sikabond-techgrip-high-strength-multi-purpose-polyurethane-adhesive-125g_p1660985
This was helpful, thanks
You are welcome!
Plumbing PVC cement has MEK, cyclohexanone and acetone. Can PVC cement be used to bond acrylic?

How strong is this bond? If I were trying to build a table would this hold?

Does this stuff work for clear acrylic? Or can you see it?

Great video, I use glass syringe with a break no black rubber last for ever just don’t drop it there not cheap $25 each
Thanks very much. I have not seen those yet. Will Google it for sure.
I get them from plastic world here in Canada Look it up
Don’t get the ones on Amazon not good
Have been using the same one for over 8 months and still going
Thanks for that! Just looked it up. Will try and find one closer to home. Will probably not get here in tact.
Can you tell me how to glue a mirror acrylic on a clear acrylic. If I try the glue from your video, I can see some cracks or fractures in the acrylic

Anyone know if this weld-on #4 works on Polycarbonate
I personally don’t know. Have not tried myself.
