That is not correct. Acetone does not dissolve plexiglass.

1. What adhesive to bond 2 pieces of plexiglass?


All you really need to bond Plexiglas is acetone. If straight acetone
is too difficult to work with, mix some Plexiglas sawdust with it till
you get the consistency you want.

Fiberglass and plexiglas are *not* the same thing. Acetone is an excellent
solvent for the resins that make up the former; it has no effect on the
latter.

Some don't know the difference between plexiglass and other plastics, it
seems.

Don't know what solvent you're actually thinking of, but it's not acetone.
Acetone does *not* dissolve plexiglass. Here, try an experiment: soak a rag
in
acetone and wipe it across a piece of acrylic plastic -- then watch as the
acetone evaporates, leaving the plastic totally unscathed.
