Re: Gluing polycarbonate?

Hi Terry,
You are right about the "super glue"  Just like as depicted in CSI, 
the glue will turn white with moisture, or any fingerprints inside 
the tube.  I have used it, but only after wiping the form down with 
acetone, and using forced ventilation.  Your best bet is 2-part epoxy.
It sets nicely, and can always be broken out if needed for repairs.
Even hot melt glue will work fine.  Gorilla glue expands, and usually 
makes a big mess.

What sort of glue will mate them???  I hear "super glue" reacts bad 
with water in polycarb to make it all frosty.  Many things "don't 
stick".  I am thinking epoxy or "gorilla glue".  Rather not use 
anything that has a terrible smell since it is indoors...
