Well, im going to be making a reservoir using Lexan. It's been planned out, and cut, but since this is my first time working with Lexan, im not too sure what to use to join the peices together. First, my friend suggested chloroform to weld, later on, we found out that that dosnt work on Lexan, then we thought Sillicone rubber stuff. That joined our scrap pieces, but after 12hrs of drying, a low force wiggle caused the two pieces to come apart.
This reservoir is going to be rather complicated so there are alot of joins, but mainly, the joints will be butt joints.
The Lexan is 6mm thick, so i guess that's going to be the thick stuff. What could i use to hold the lexan together? Will Sillicone + thin screws work? Anything to look out for?
