Default acrylic cement

Most of you are probably familiar with acrylic cement. I used it for the first
time recently, and thought it would be good to share my experiences with those
who aren't familiar with it.

The spindle on my record-cleaning machine had broken off, and the repair kit
included a tube of Weldon #16 acrylic cement. After drilling out the hole, I
globbed the cement on the new spindle and stuck it in place. It stuck very
well.

I have a box set of Sinatra recordings with a thick Plexiglas cover. It had
been broken, and the acrylic cement fixed it nicely with no trouble. Which is
no surprise, as Plexiglas is an acrylic.

What did surprise me was the battery cover on a Sony remote control. It had
been split straight down the middle (vertically). As the cover is only 1/32"
thick, I expected problems, and wasn't looking forward to fiddling with epoxy
or Plas-T-Pair. Much to my surprise, the acrylic glue worked.
