I have no real details, just that it can't be done with clamps etc.

He doesn't want to risk damaging the polycarbonate with an unsuitable
adhesive, so any suggestions please for something that could be got easily
from B&Q or similar - his wife is in town on Wednesday and can take it back.

Looks as if Araldite or acrylic will do it but I don't know how 'correct'
the Araldite has to be. I have some here that I could pass on.

If it is just holding together until bolted ... then superglue is
probably best


I hope so - I'll give her 3 bottles of superglue (damn, another 75p down the
drain!) to take back and we'll see what happens.
