Default Lexan Plastic-What Solvent to use in Gluing

I have some interest in this thread. Could someone please tell me what
this stuff is in ENGLISH. Like: CH2C12 and THF (is that simply PVC
cement?), and methylene chloride. Where do you get this goop??


Well, Lexan is GE tradename for polycarbonate plastic. CHCL2 is methylene
chloride aka 'paint stripper', 'carburetor cleaner'. And getting the goop
is easy at a plastics supplier

but difficult otherwise, because it's nasty stuff (and shipping regulations and restrictions
apply). Adhesives manufacturers are notoriously stingy about disclosing the composition
of their goods, and aren't going to offer any descriptions in plain English.
