Re: Bonding polycarbonate to polycarbonate

The Loctite plastic bonder doesn't work well for polycarbonate sheets in my experience.

You want Methylene Chloride. It can be expensive, but you don't need a lot to make the bond. You will need a syringe to put drops of material along the surfaces to bond.

I've had experience with Weld-On #3 such as this: http://www.eplastics.com/Lexan_Polycarbonate_Glue
