For acrylic fabrication we use dichloromethane (neat) and tensol 12 or 70 or Altuglas p10 or s2000 (i think)
We also use Methyl ethyl ketone for some other Plastics
For foamalux we use tetrahydrafurhan or PVC adhesive
For heavy constructon of aluminiums, di-bonds etc we use Araldite and every now and again penloc
In addition to all these we also use sika-flex with 209 primer and 3m tapes
The DCM and THF are very hard to track down, The reasons for using tensols and the Altuglass equivilent range from the fact that Altuglass do not use DCM in their adhesives anymore which makes them less aggressive than the tensols, they are also more fluid which is good for sealing the insides of B/U letters.
The tensols seem far better for sticking and laminating of larger pieces of acrylic For example I have successfully laminated a number of 3000×2000 sheets of 12mm thick clear together with an almost optically clear lamination, involved about 15 bottles of tensol in a bucket and a bit of know how and a gas mask !!!!!
Hope that helps a bit
