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

I constructed my first 1/4 in thick acrylic box using lucite brand pmma sheets. You have to apply the adhesive before you assemble the object; this is not easy (for two reasons). The adhesive is too viscous to apply to a dry-fit box the way that one would with Weld-on #4 or #3 ithrough capillary action. So you apply a bead to the edges then assemble. #16 pours out of the tube, so you have to tip it carefully. The cement at the tip dries quickly and can stall application, especially if you stop to put the pieces in a jig and don’t recap the tube. Because it is runny and can permanently smudge acrylic, I recommend practicing with scrap first. The balance between too little adhesive and too much (small globs squeeze out if you have excess) is hard to strike.One thing is clear, this adhesive forms strong bonds, strong enough that they are difficult or impossible to break. So a water-bearing box will likely have sufficient strength. If you are building a fish tank, you may want to use #3 or #4 so it looks clean, and you can assemble before you apply adhesive.For attaching two flat pieces together front to back, this is the adhesive to use. For attaching edges, I would recommend using the thinner weld, especially if you are making a box.
