Default Glue help

My scoop on my camaro is made of cast acrylic. I'm told it's the same as plex-glass . I have tried all kinds of glues to put it together. So far none have worked good. Does any know or used 3M scotch-weld DP-805 or DP-100?? They claim they work with this type of plastic. HELP!!

I dont know about the glue angle but you may want to try plastic welding the crack. It works a lot better depending upon the makeup of the material.

This is a bit pricey but you get the idea.

Here's a chart to figure out what your material is:

I think this is the setup I bought from them:

Panel bond. Call the kid. I'm sure he'll have words of wisdom for you.

Ken I only call him after I spent time in the local bar.
That way I don't care what he has to say about me or my car.
