Bond Hardboard To Acrylic Sheet

Use clamps or masking tape to hold acrylic sheeting in place while applying solvent.

Bond hardboard to acrylic sheet.

Clamp the hardboard to the mounting surface making sure to clean up any excess glue as the two pieces are connected and held in place with the clamps. If you can hide the glued area the acrylic polymer glue is going to give you the strongest bond. If the glued area will be visible however the two part epoxy will yield a crystal clear glued area. By properly cleaning acrylic you will ensure the strongest possible bond.

If acrylic sheeting is being welded for box corner joints apply solvent on the inside edge of the acrylic sheeting.

Unlike many other gluing processes acrylic glue softens the surfaces of the acrylic and welds them together chemically bonding the two pieces into one. Acrylic is typically glued using solvent based glues such as weld on 4. When operators try to wipe excess adhesive outside the joint away it will fog the acrylic.

If you only used a sheet of this material it would likely just buckle or break under the weight. This is a premium hardboard with high internal bond exceptional stability and smoothness ideal for paneling furniture fixtures toys general manufacturing and applications where painting or die cutting is required. Also the smooth surface makes finishing the hardboard with primer and paint a breeze. Applying a generous amount of wood glue to both surfaces and place the hardboard on the backing.

However once set it will be clear.
