I am planning a "touchy" repair job to my canopy. I've done some test
sheet acrylic bondings with acrylic IPS Weld-On (#16). I don't like
the ugly bubbles and noticed some fine plexiglas stress cracking on
one test piece. Is there another sort of cement (eg. Weld-On #40)
which would make for a better looking bond between 2 sheets of .080 in
plexiglas? Thanks.

isnt chloroform a thin solvent suited to wicking into plexiglas
cracks?

Stealth: Yes it is but my repair patch is not a perfect match due to
curved surface so some air pockets would prevent complete wicking. I
thought maybe a thicker solvent could possibly work better. It is not
a structural requirement. Thanks

Acrifix 192 is a good material for this. It is fairly viscous and can
be worked just like the plexi when it's cured. It is UV cured.

Most of the sailplane online stores will carry it (Knauff & Grove,
Wings & Wheels, Cumulus, etc.)
