Re: Bonding polycarbonate to polycarbonate

I would strongly suggest reconsidering MEK and Methylene Chloride unless you have a really well ventilated area to work in and respirators to use.

I have actually worked with both and found that I was especially sensitive to the vapors from each (ie - above the norm). You may want to look at a clear urethane adhesive or something similar.

Of course, I have to ask... for what purpose are you adhering these two parts together? Is there an opportunity to use a mechanical fastening instead?
