Re: Plexiglass Adhesives for electrical box

In years past, plexiglass (acryllic) was specifically forbidden. I do not no if this is still the case, but I can not encourage you strongly enough to avoid plexiglass. It shatters under impact!. Lexan (polycarbonate) is impact resistant.

In either case, the joint will be strongest if you have clean straight edges. Consider a pass over a belt sander with fine grit paper to knock down any high spots. (CNC machining would be best, but most of us don't have that luxury.)

Best of luck. (Use Lexan!)
