Re: Gluing polycarbonate?

Hi Terry,

You are right about the "super glue" Just like as depicted in CSI, the glue will turn white with moisture, or any fingerprints inside the tube. I have used it, but only after wiping the form down with acetone, and using forced ventilation. Your best bet is 2-part epoxy.
It sets nicely, and can always be broken out if needed for repairs.
Even hot melt glue will work fine. Gorilla glue expands, and usually makes a big mess.

What sort of glue will mate them??? I hear "super glue" reacts bad with water in polycarb to make it all frosty. Many things "don't stick". I am thinking epoxy or "gorilla glue". Rather not use anything that has a terrible smell since it is indoors...
