how to bond lexan

[GodFan]

Got some lexan scraps from lowes. I want to glue them together to make a shelf for some plants. How do you bond lexan and keepnit aquariun safe? Also might want to bind it to glass if possible.
Thanks and God bless!

Could you drill and peg it? Possibly use silicone as well?

I think its too thin for that. Although I could drill one peice into a slot and the other a peg to lock it... good idea! I had heard silicone wouldnt bond to acrylic and I figured lexan would be similar.

Exactly! The silicone will act as friction to keep the slot/peg deal together!

Sweet! Gonna try it! What about the glass though? Its not 100% necessary but might be helpful if possible

maybe use suction cups w clips? I wouldn't bank on a aq safe bond between the 2.

I think the notch system would work! I cant use suction cups because this has to support some weight.
