sasha - don't know where you're located but see if there is a plastics/plexiglas dealer in your area...without seeing the plastic, it would pay to have someone look at it and recommend the solvent. (what you're referring to is actually a solvent because it does attack the plastic and softens the surface to make the bond). it is usually based on methelyne diethelene chloride - its a rather nasty chemical.) It comes in different viscosities and gluing joints that are going to be visible is a wee bit touchy. if there's no plexiglas dealer, try a frame shop or a sign shop. finally, here's a link to working with acrylic.....http://fins.actwin.com/diy/acrylic.html -----Original Message----- From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Sasha Carrera Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2005 7:06 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Thanks and another question Dear Listers, Thanks for your responses to my "sticky question." I'm on my way to having a balanced proposal. Another question--we have a bunch of plexi-glass frames. Some are custom made, very high quality. But a lot of them are falling apart. I was told there's some sort of glue(?) or something that actually melts and bonds the plastic back together. What is that substance called and where can I get it?
