Adhesive for polycarbonate sheet. "Lexan"
(OP)
Does anyone know what is the best adhesive for glueing bracing bits to polycarbonate canopies and windscreens?
I have been told that silicone causes micro cracks, what else is there that wont let go?
I hope there is an expert out there!
Cheers, Gyro.

Our shop guys didn't seem to have any troubles using it. It is not a liquid like most Lexan adhesives and therefore stayed in place better and filled in gaps. The rep at IPS that I talked to seemed very knowledgeable about their entire product range and really helped me pick the right adhesive for the job.

(I have used this with other plastics and plexi-glass type materials, but I'm not sure how it would work with Lexan.)

I hope this helps. I am new to this board and noticed this thread in passing.

Be wary of some of the commercial solvents like Plexisolv or Plastruct because some of these contain Glacial acetic acid and I am not sure what that does to Lexan.
The Methylene Cloride can be made into a soup by dissolving chips of Lexan into it.
Two part glues like weld-on 45 are good, however. they are amber in color and will not give you an invisible join. I hope this is of help.
