Polycarbonate assembly
Polycarbonate assembly
(OP)
Hi,
I am going to make a vacuum chamber out of 5 polycarbonate plates (500x500mm) and a removable top plate (600x600mm).
To assemble the 5 plates, is it better to use screws, adhesive/glue or solvent?
With the screws there is the probleme of notch sensitivity.
With the glue, which one is good?
With the solvent, which one is available in Europe (preferably The Netherlands)? What is the best way to do it?
Thanks
Greg
