Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Adhesives and Ferric Chloride

2003-11-26 by Adam Seychell

They make a special solvent cement for Plexiglas (synonyms: 
Perspex, PMMA). It looks like a clear thick liquid and contains 
methylene chloride and some very volatile solvents. The bonds are 
strong enough to make joints for gluing edge on ( I've see fish 
tanks made from this stuff). I would be very surprised if the 
cured cement and/or the plastic will fail in ferric chloride. 
Find anyone who specalizes in plexiglas for the correct cement.
