fastener for acrylic sheet

fastener for acrylic sheet

fastener for acrylic sheet

(OP)
We're working on an application where we must provide a secondary means of fastening for an acrylic aircraft window to the fuselage. We are evaluating ABS Christmas tree fasteners. However, the acrilic-ABS bond has been unsatisfactory and shear strength awful. We don't want to drill the acrylic because it will compromise integrity.
 1. We're looking for a fastener manufacturer because we need a 1" dia flat head which would be bonded to the inner surface of the acrylic similar to http://autobodysupplies.safeshopper.com/3/9.htm?263
2. Any ideas on an ABS-Acrylic adhesive?
Much obliged!

Oops! The fastener material is Nylon! so the requirement is for an Acrylic-Nylon adhesive!

Yes, I have. Nylon is hard to bond to anything, let alone acrylic. 3M is suggesting a double sided tape but it doesn't give us a warm & fuzzy feeling!
