Polycarbonate is a clear, colorless plastic often used as a replacement for glass. There are two ways to glue polycarbonate sheets: using an epoxide or fusing the sheets together. Using epoxide glue for this purpose is a relatively simple procedure, but fusing the sheets together is a little more interesting and can create a nearly invisible division.
Things You'll Need:
-
2 polycarbonate sheets
-
Methylene chloride or chloroform

Step1
Clean the edges of the sheets where you want to fuse them together.
Step2
Add a small trail of methylene chloride or chloroform along one edge of one sheet.
Step3
Allow the solvent to soak into the sheet. The edge should become a little sticky.
Step4
Place the sticky edge onto the clean edge of the other sheet.
Step5
Support the sheets to keep the two edges in constant contact with light pressure while the sheets dry.
Step6
Allow the two sheets to dry for 48 hours. This should be done in a well-ventilated area.
