For a good glue joint, ensure the surfaces are clean and flat, and clamp until the solvent has evaporated, and the joint has solidified. Hope that helps.  |
While I agree with the recommendation to use Lexan over Plexiglass, I am not aware of anything in the rules that would prohibit a team from using Plexiglass if they choose to do so.
