Further to poly and flaming. I tried using heat to end some 12mm lexan. Sadly a failure as leftvit too long and it bubbled internally. I believe water vapour maybe to blame. This was basic bung it in the oven technique. A strip element heater would be better but was “young and keen” and in a rush. Thanks for the info about acetone to joint it. To round over I just use a very finely set block plane MUST BE RAZON SHARP followed by draw filing and fine sand paper. I have used a round over bitnin my router before, LOW SPEED AND KEEP IT MOVING or it melts ( just don’t ask and see earlier comment about youth etc) :Doh: :Doh: |

When I've done it with Perspex I've used a small flame - gently play it on the edge and keep it moving. That was using a small oxy-hydrogen torch set up intended for Jewellers that electrolysis-es water to disassociate it into oxygen and hydrogen and bubbles the result through M.E.K. to enhance the flame energy. To give you an idea of scale, the torch tip was a hypodermic needle but it was happy smoothing the edge of 1/4" perspex. Sadly I don't have it any more - someone persuaded me that their need was greater than mine ! |

The boating fraternity use a bonding agent in a skeleton gun tube, it is called Sikaflex, and compared to it, excreta and blankets come nowhere!, I used to fit the bonded in type Volvo windscreens with it. |
