Hi Folks,
I've just about finished routing the 2nd big lithophane I've been working on, (4' x 2.5') and it's pretty thin in places
I'm going to back it up with 1/4" clear polycarbonate, for strength.
I can simply place them together, and then sandwich them between the two 1" square hollow galvanised steel section, or I can try and make a more positive join.
I did try some samples of polycarb glued to acrylic using straight Methylene Chloride, and using MeCl with acrylic shavings disolved in it, but all I got were solid bits of fizz- bubbles I could not get rid of.
I'm just wondering if anyone can offer me some advice on how to do it so that it does not look worse than none-at-all !
Gluing with Silicone 401? But that's a large area - 10 sq feet.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...
