As you know, your plexiglass glue is not just a glue. Acetone dissolves certain plastics. This is called solvent welding. The two materials become one and the glue evaporates. The official/approved pipe cement in Home Depot works this way. This tells why your glue works best with ABS. Your later tests with materials like wood and metal were a fair comparison with epoxy. I would consider using this cement when I am joining plastics together.

This is a great demonstration, but beware, test fully, don't rely on anything until you see the results of your own testing for yourself. This works excellent as a plexiglass to plexiglass bonding agent. It will not Bond well between wood and wood, unless you very carefully and very thoroughly heat your glue until it's very viscous and thinned out. Then use this heat-thinned glue to coat your wood to wood surfaces to be bonded first. Let your coated surfaces dry for at least 6 hours, then continue bonding your surfaces together as suggested by the video creator. Additionally,, I can't stress seriously enough that you test for yourself the results of your bonding. The video creator here is a very thoughtful man with your best interests in mind,,,. I have no doubt about that. I encourage everyone to at least give a thanks in the comments section and definitely give a thumbs up to this creator. Thanks to all from myself.

@DaveEtchells11 ай бұрын
I’m really surprised that it didn’t work on the plexiglass, since the acetone dissolved plexiglass to make the glue in the first place. I think the problem was that you clamped it immediately after applying, so the excess acetone in the glue didn’t have time to partially dissolve the plexiglass you were trying to glue before it was squeezed into a very thin film with very little spare acetone left to attack the plexiglass. I think you’d have better results if you put on a good bit of glue and let the pieces just rest together for a while before clamping it. (Roughening the surface would help also, since the parts of the rough surface that are sticking up would be able to be attacked more aggressively by the acetone.) ABS makes sense as it dissolves in acetone, but would it work at all on PVC? A great tip though, I hate the mess of epoxy; I’m going to make some of this for myself!

Plexiglass is a brand name, as is perspex, acrylite etc. The actual material is called poly(methyl methacrylate), or PMMA for short but the common name is just "acrylic". As you figured out, its best use is in gluing other substances that can be dissolved in acetone such as crylonitrile utadiene styrene (ABS) because it becomes more like a weld rather than a glued joint. The reason it's not good for gluing other things, is that it makes a fairly poor surface bond with many other materials, so the structural strength is about the same as the equivalent thickness of acrylic (ie not much) 5 minute epoxy is the weakest of the epoxies. Its strength and temperature resistance is really quite bad. I only use it for very light duty applications or as a temporary repair. It can be removed by boiling the part and then scraping off the softened glue.

(its common practice in 3D printing, to bond ABS parts with acetone/ABS slurry, and smooth them with acetone vapor) what did surprise me was, how poorly it bonded plexi, which acetone clearly can dissolve too. maybe acetone was too volatile, to really gloop the brittle acrylic together as nicely. but when it comes to gluing metals to most random materials, JB weld's magical alchemy in unmatched. and PVC has it's own cold weld glue

the acetone dissolved the abs plastic, so it welded them together. But with the wood f.ex its only the plexi glass holding them together. So if you try without plexiglass, but only acetone on the abs, the result might be the same. Although probably the plexiglass adds some strength to it by making it a composite. You should try the experiment with just acetone on the abs.

@@NeverSuspects I was using 91% to clean electronic PCBs just before COVID hit. Then it went extinct in the stores. That's when I found anhydrous isopropyl alcohol on eBay, but it was expensive due to the price gougers.

When repairing broken plastic parts this mixture dries Clear, and hardens Quickly! It is easy to make and easy to replenish. By adjusting the mixture ratio, you can make it brush-able or able to apply with a tongue depressor. With the right mixture ratio, it will automatically harden smooth! This is my "go to" fix for Many broken items!
