Revise: Fabrication and Assembly MethodsLiquid cement (dichloromethane) is a thin solvent-based joining liquid suitable for compatible thermoplastics such as acrylic. It can join close-fitting acrylic parts, for example the prepared panels of a permanently assembled acrylic enclosure, through solvent welding rather than through epoxy's resin-and-hardener reaction.
