someone mentioned in a previous blog that acrylic could be bonded with MEK. Since I can't get weld-on in Alaska without paying huge has-mat charges I decided to try it. The result was disappointing. It did bond the two pieces together, but it was a very brittle, thin bond that was easily brocken by hand. Felt similar to a superglue type bond. So i certainly can't recommend using it for anything structural or that holds water.
Anyone else have different results?
