which type of adhessive for acrylic?
for joint purposed....

lol i forgot the name la...double sided type... and need to be thin la if can get the transparent one....

erh...i need something strong adhessive coz i'm building my own notebook cooler pad...so, double sided tape not sufficient enugh for bond......btw, i've searched & something called "chloroform" but not many ppl sellin as they are required license to buy those thing.....

wast "chloroform" some chemical that we use in bio lab ah???
i think i used it to make the frog asleep or pengsan then we potong2 him... lol....
u can try the glue... aiya i forgot laa the name...
got two of it, u mix it together n it will become super strong...
sorry cannot remember the name... some one help...

yes very sure...double sided tape is enough...just clean the surface and scratch a bit la to create a strong bonding effect...but u need to know the correct one...zzz i forgot the code la...mine sudah habis. sure u could try glue. KiFuRi idea also works.
the double sided tape should be like transparent la. very strong one la.

the transparent wan very hard to find ooo...
if got i gonna borong it... lol....
really2 strong eh...

for acrylic rite?? sure strong la..dun worry

u can find the glur gun in hardware store ,

it looks like a gun , with 2 tube , when u press , both mix together and form a very very strong glue . It is for indrustrail usage ~

this is the best and strongest way...... and its called "epoxy". can get clear ones...



chloroform if im not mistaken is illegal to be sold to individuals in malaysia.

if u get the thin acrylic sure can use double tape la...enough edy...but if the acrylic heavy then u need to use super hot glue gun...

the best thing to stick 2 piece of acrylic is "chloroform" because the liquid will melt the acrylic and combine the 2 pieces into i joint.. and u wont see the "glue-like" on the edge...

u can get the chloroform from the shop u buy the acrylic...

thanks alot for suggesting....
hot glue gun? doesn't it melt acrylic/polycarbonate material?
now, i'm try using clear multipurpose co-polymer sealant.
it strong enugh for joint my 4mm thickness acrylic

chloroform is illegal to buy if u're doesn't have a valid license. even i asked da shop that bought acrylic from also won't sell it to me.

May i ask, why is chloroform illegal ?

because it is poisonous in an indirect way.

Making ppl faint and numb.

Good for rapist.

Yesssss man , thanks for telling me the name .

It is Epoxy as Madman said . GO hardware store look for it .

It is the best way . cost about RM40 per gun , about that price Last time saw it at my fren workshop , use it for applying car spoiler .

remind me my last year fyp,really hard to find kloroform,but the chemical cant give the best result of adhesive

this helped me understand how to glue acrylic when i was building my xbox 360 cooling case.

personal tip: be very careful when using the acrylic cement... dont b like me, i accidentally spilled some on my finger and it literally killed a small portion of my finger's skin surface. if that does happen, run your finger under water for a few minutes. the damage shouldnt go any deeper than the top layer of ur skin surface. the skin will jz be like dead hard skin and should fall off n replaced with fresh skin over a few days~

errr...joint purpose? u mean acrylic + acrylic? then must use isis method la...acrylic cement

urM...

why dont u trY super glue.. aKa gam gajaH..
good 4 sticking things n lasting oso..
heheheh...

the strength of the glue depends on the strength you need to reinforce your casing ...


normally super glue will do .. unless you need a 2-tonne strength epoxy
