    Same as you Kev had some but hardly ever used it then when I wanted some it had gone off, for small amounts I’ve found that Loctite Super Plastix sticks Perspex brilliantly.

    Hi fellas,
    Tensol 12 or Tensol 70 is a recommended ICI adhesive for perspex to perspex. Tensol 70 is a two pack mix and is much stronger.
    Foamex to Foamex or to Foamex to Perspex can be done with Durapipe or similar.
    Amari Plastics sell all three….
    Hope this helps
    Mike

    for foamex i use Mitre Fix from B&Q/ WICKES etc, spray oneside apply bottled solution to other and stick together sticks instantly. Reasonably cheap and easy to get hold of.

    i use Tensol 12 also. havent tried tensol 70..

    ive always used acrifix before that. dries instantly and is like water. i cant get hold of it anymore in the uk.. anyone any ideas?
    tensol is a bit more forgiving when applying and can also fill gaps which helps..
