Thin acrylic glue

Martin Brown · 2014-02-21T08:41:40+00:00

Any suggestions for a thin fluid solvent based acrylic glue to mend some damage on a largish 5cm diameter Perspex pipe for a science demo. The end got bashed and it would be expensive to replace. The repair must be waterproof and preferably clear and same RI as perspex. I am tempted to try petrol or pet ether and hope that the end of the crack doesn't run. Basically I need a low viscosity solvent glue that will go into the fine crack by capillary action. Most acrylic glues feel too thick for this job. Any suggestions?

Thanks. URL noted for future use as they do a lot of obscure glues!

We used it here for years but then H&S found it so useful they banned it, or at least put restrictions on it's storage and use, it was just too much hassle to keep.

and to someone alergic to peanuts that can be serious.

I sure that peoole3 that work with plutoinium dion;t see that as dangerous otherwise they wouldn;t work with it.
