: What kind of solvent or glue is needed to laminate polycarbonate?

: Thanks Andres

The solvent cement we use routinely for polycarbonate 'welding' is Weld-On 3 from IPS Corp. PO Box 379 Gardena CA 90248 (no affiliation whatsoever). It contains Methylene Chloride (strong paint/varnish remover) and Trichloroethylene - both known cancer-causing agents. Needless to say extra precautions should be taken when handling. Respirator/rubber gloves/goggles/long sleeves should be worn. It bonds quickly - but requires an overnight cure for high strength.
