The glue is applied to the surfaces to be glued and they are pressed together. They should be clamped for 24 hours and this gives a permanent joint.

Accurately weigh 5 parts of Part B into 100 parts of Part A. It is important that this is done accuratelySelect an adhesive (Tensol), which joins plastics such as acrylic, together permanently. Tensol is also called ‘dichlormethane methyl methacrylate’ and produces a chemical weld between two surfaces. Tensol is applied to the surfaces to be glued and they are pressed together. The surfaces are clamped for 24 hours. Do not use adhesive that has been mixed for more than 20 minutes as it will be difficult to use and give applying the adhesive and assembling the parts. Dispense the adhesive from a small polythene bottle edge to face the edge should have a 10o chamfer to allow a sufficient quantity of adhesive into the joint.
