WAVES Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 FYI used acrylic doesnt glue like new acrylic. Acrylic absorbs water while in use so when glueing it it will not repair anything like new acrylic. You are probably fine, but it will not be anything like the bond of fresh acrylic.

larrybeck Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 If you let the acrylic "dry" will this problem be eliminated or lessened? If so, how long would it need to dry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
