Greetings listers,



Has anyone used E 6000 on plexiglass?   I'm wondering if the solvent 

will cause any damage or crazing to the plastic.



Thanks in advance to any info.


	


  There are several versions of E6000 . . . one is flammable,

  the other is not. What's your proposed application?

Bob,



I'm using the brand name "E 6000" in the silver tooth paste tube with 

perchloroethylene (man, that's smaaaall print).



My application is adhering stainless and brass "finger insets" into 

holes in old plexi sliding windows on a boat.  Off topic, but I figured 

this was the largest group of E 6000 users I was going to find.

   speaks to chemical resistance of acrylics (plexiglas) to

   various antagonists. At room temp, resistance is listed as

   'fair' but not recommended at higher temps.



   Since your application will evaporate away all the solvent

   as the cement cures, you'd probably be okay. Might put a

   fan on it to hasten drying. Once the glue is fully cured,

   all the perch is gone.

Raymond,

If you are bonding Plexiglas  (acrylic) to plexi or even polycarbonate to plexi you might want to use a solvent cement such as Weldon 4.  Dries clear and produces a solvent welded bond as opposed to an adhesive bond.
