Re: willing to help people with acrylic

I think you need other components in your mixture to work with acrylic. SOme components like acetic acid I think slow down the time to join acrylic. I was thinking of experimenting on my own mixture but I haven't been able to locate a nearby chem lab yet. I been using another acrylic solvent made by GE and it does a pretty good job.

My idea involves Denture acrylic and monomer. you'd need to boil it a few times in 10hr increments in order to release the leftover chemical, but it's strong enough to do it. (In my own theory)
