Hey everyone
I'm trying to build a watertight acrylic box. Unfortunately I've very little success welding clear acrylic joints despite the edges being flat.
Extra info -
I'm using Cast Acrylic with 6mm to 14mm thicknes. Here is the dilemma-
1. With Weld On 3 or Acri-bond 105 the curing is quick and easy but leaves bubbles.
2. With Acrifix 0192 which is a UV reactive I get optically clear bonds but due to being viscous it gets out of the edges and you can't wipe it without leaving marks. The result is while the joint look clear the sides look hideous.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
