Review on SCIGRIP 10315 16 Acrylic Plastic Cement, Low-VOC, Medium Bodied And Fast-Setting, Clear, 5 Fl Oz Tube by Brandon Battaglia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great glue for Plexiglas, read me

I used this glue to fix a robotic car project that was made from laser cut Plexiglas.It bonds perfectly, perhaps even slightly melting the Plexiglas where joints meet which is what you want.Warning: Like other reviewers have stated, the glue out of the tube is lower viscosity than you might expect of a "glue"; more like a liquid. Gravity alone will make the glue drip out of the tube if you are not careful.I held the tube mostly horizontal so I could control a slow flowing glue bead. Plus I prepared my work area in advance to catch any inevitable drops.I clamped my Plexiglas pieces together with strips of wax paper between. Turned out to work perfectly, the glue didn't stick to the wax paper (thus not to my plastic clamps).I initially thought 5 oz would be small, but it's actually a large hand size tube way more than I currently needed.Finally yea like any glue or paint that has solvents in it, you should use ventilation (more so if other than a short gluing session, read up on it) and avoid getting it on your skin. I opened a nearby window and used a small fan to make sure the air was flowing. Since it was a small quick working surface I didn't use gloves, but otherwise I would have for anything larger and extensive.

Pros
  • Economical tube size ensures that product won't dry out before it can be used up
Cons
  • Can be difficult to remove excess adhesive after application
