Methylene Chloride, also known as Rez-n-bond. Used this for 37 plus years in the sign business. You can make a thick glue with this by adding scrap acrylic pieces to a gallon and letting it sit for a few weeks

I’ve been flame polishing acrylic in the sign business for 37 yrs. I sanded down to about 600 grit. We used straight acetylene with one or two passes along the edges to produce a transparent glass finish. Sometimes with a rag and Methylene Chloride, (which is the main ingredient for gluing acrylic), you can shine up edges with that.

Hello! I was wanting to know I 3d print mostly in ABS, and I sometimes need to put pieces together normally I use ABS glue (mixture of abs filament and acetone) or just straight acetone, would weld-on 3 be a better option than the two I already use when joining piece together or does it depend on how it will be handled/used?

You used to be able to get methylene chloride at any hardware store. Stupid EPA banned it because over the course of 40 years a dozen people didn't follow the directions about ventilation and died. About half of those were stripping paint from bathtubs, a use that the label told you not to do.

Thanks for the info! I am trying to use this technique but I am not seeing an instant bond, it is not "sticking" until it's sat there for a while. Any advice on why? they are laser cut pieces, so all I can think of is maybe i need to lightly sand the edges.

Great video, no fat and straight to the point

Great video thank you.

Hello I don’t know if you are still seeing this but I’m trying this method on my anime acrylic stand that has a scratch in it and it removed the scratch but the sandpaper scratches are gone what should I do?

Does this work on saw cut edges? I caught in the middle of the video on the manufacturer's website that they recommend ips weld on 16 acrylic cement instead if not a purely flat finish which your video seems to show?

I am trying to make aquarium by plexiglass. Can i use that solvent? Is it waterproof?

My tekink is best. Iam job me

Does this solvent create a water tight seal?

Just a note, your mic was WAY too close to your neck. You kept pressing into it and distorting the audio when you leaned your head down.

Nice video. I have a hairline crack in a hard to find pool filter fitting that was suggested to try capillary action solvent bonding "repair". Where do you source VC-1 or E-Z Fix #309?

Is the bond improved if you can somehow apply pressure to the joint? I'm guessing since the liquid is so thin that an unsmooth surface can also mean a poor bond?

Where can you buy methylene chloride you use in the video?

worked flawlessly! made holes right on edge of acrylic effortlessly. I used some water with coarse side of Gordon combination sharpening stone from harbor freight to flatten the cutting edge. Took 1-2min to flatten each edge (my bit had 2 edges, was the standard titanium 118 degree bits from harbor freight). You just make the cutting edge of the tip flat instead of sharp. He said parallel to shank, which is incorrect. parallel to the cutting edge. Flatten the sharp cutting side of the tip that makes the angle of the drill bit, opposite the flute. Cheers!

Very nice

worth metioning dichloromethane is carcinogenic. Can also be found in paint stripper in australia. Thanks

Very helpful video. Thanks!

Would this work on an acrylic watch face?

Excellent video - shows technique and informative about materials. Thank you!

Great info and technique - thanks I needed just this to make a small PC HDD cage using acrylic - without drilling/making holes

염화메틸렌과 다른 첨가물을 혼합해서 쓰나요?? 접착면에 기포가 많이 생깁니다

Would be nice if you mention your tools when you mention your materials.

Where do you buy your methylene chloride?

Awesome video

Does anyone know it I can use these products on a black acylic shower pan???

Can you use this method on a black acrylic shower pan??

Have an acrylic panel for my PC and I'm gonna try to make it look new again, scratches aren't deep at all I can't wait to see it looking spotless again thanks

Will this work on monitor screens?

It was hard to find methylene chloride in Greece. This solvent is highly regulated in Europe. I am impressed that works so well on acrylic. I tested also acetone as other videos suggested but it does not work. Many congratulations for this educative video.

AWOOGA 😍

just what i was expecting

Or you can buy a drill bit that’s used for soft material like a 90° drill bit… 118° is made for hard metals

what gauge needle are you using for your glue applicator? Thanks, Jeff

How do you whip that dispensing bottle around without dropping MC all over? I end up with blotchy plastic every time. Is the nozzle too large? What size nozzle is on that one?

Exceptionally useful video for all who have acrylic aquariums.

Watching the video, just after I chipped mine 😭.

Which Saw blade are you using for cutting?

Fabulous information! Exactly what I needed. Thank you!!! 🇨🇦

This video really shows how to remove scratches from plastic. I only wish Mike told how long each step took to do or there was a continuous timer running so I knew how long each step took. I've tried his method to remove a lot of scratches from a phono dust cover with limited success. Some scratches are quite deep. I can easily feel them with my fingernail. Those scratches I wet sanded with 400 grit. After much buffing with #3 and #2, my dust cover still is not near as clear as I was hoping. Maybe I need to get comfortable, put some good music on and spend the afternoon polishing on it.

Can we use for polycarbonate??

This solvent can kill you within minutes of inhalation and no gas mask will protect you from it. Do not ever use it and please take this video down.

does this process work the same for colored acrylic?

Please, if you use it wear proper PPE when handling and ventilate the room very well!

How would you unweld something like this?
