I need t oknow what glues to u se to glue two pieces oif acrylic, two pieces of expanded polystyrene and two pieces of rigid polystyrene. I also need to know what the main disadvantage of using sheet acrylic in DandT projects at school which makes it sometimes unsuitablePlastic adhesives and Acrylic?
Tensol Cement is a specfic adhesive for acrylic and it is clear and it works by disolving the surface. This is a solvent based adhesive so must be used with care, especaly with pupils in the room. The sickly sweer ';methacrylate odour can be very powerfull.
Expanded polystyrene will disolve with any solvent based glue, but it can be stuck together with PVA as this will absorb into the surface of the glue like a sponge and dry to form a sort of machanical bond at the plastic / adhesive intervace.
Rigid polystyrene can be glued with any plastics adhesive and even tensol cement shoud disolve it. Also, try ';Bison Hard Plastic's Adhesive'; from any DIY store
Sheet acrylic has a high gloss shine which can scratch easily, and the adges MUST be filed and polished to give a quality finish. Many pupils find this tediousPlastic adhesives and Acrylic?
I bought some spray on glue from wicks you know the hardware type store (sure i have spelled it wrong though) It glues any fabric to wood plastic etc its only about 拢5 for a can.
good luck
