Not pretty, but effective.<br /> <br /> I can't think of anything that would <i>bond</i> acrylic and wood in the same way acrylic-to-acrylic can be fused together. <hr /><a name="a1913_3"></a><p><b>From: geebeau</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1913.3">#3</a>]<br /> 9 Sep 2005<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1913.2">#2</a>] 9 Sep 2005</p> <p>Hi, Dave.. Thanx for getting back.<br /> I did the obvious.. called Tropar and asked.. <span class="e_smile" title=":)"><span class="e__">:)</span> </span><br /> They said that a sealer as in acrylic to acrylic wouldn't work, just to perhaps use a bit of double sided clear tape.<br /> Same principle, different material.</p> <p>Thanx,<br /> Steve</p><hr /><a name="a1913_4"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1913.4">#4</a>]<br /> 9 Sep 2005<br /><b>To: geebeau</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1913.3">#3</a>] 9 Sep 2005</p> If it is in a non-visible slot, double sided tape works fairly well. Hot glue will also work, but gives a little less strength when really pulled. <hr /><a name="a1913_5"></a><p><b>From: BobT</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1913.5">#5</a>]<br /> 9 Sep 2005<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> <p>I just finished a display (promotional) piece for my own company, trying to demonstrate several capabilities in one piece. I glued cast acrylic to pockets in a piece of walnut, using ProBond polyurethane (same as Gorilla Glue). It seems to be holding really well. May be worth a try for you.<br /> The Elmers ProBone seems to be the same as Gorilla brand, just a lot cheaper.</p><hr /><a name="a1913_6"></a><p><b>From: logojohn</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1913.6">#6</a>]<br /> 9 Sep 2005<br /><b>To: geebeau</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1913.1">#1</a>] 9 Sep 2005</p> I don't think clear tape would be strong enough.<br /> <br /> Their bases have a deep groove which will hide anything you use.<br /> <br /> I use the very strong tape we use for plaque assembly.<br /> <br /> It is referred to as super stick by several suppliers.<br /> <br /> I use a width slightly wider than the thickness of the acrylic and let it wrap around a little at the front to adhere a little more to the side of the groove. It is faster than glue and I haven't had any come back after several years. <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1913.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1913.1">1</a>  2-6</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
