recommended adhesive for mitered acrylic

[rfulford]

A client wants me to product some digitally printed signs with 2" deep returns on the side. We are shooting for a acrylic gallery wrap so to speak. I have a good idea on the process but not really sure what type of adhesive will bond .25" miters and dry clear. Any suggestions?

weldon would be your best bet I think

weldon 4 is a bit slower to dry, but has less chance of blushing the acrylic FYI

For 1/4", I think I'd use #16. It's like toothpaste and takes maybe 1 minute to set up, 24 hours to fully cure, but it's really strong stuff for what you're gonna do.

Weld-On 3 or 16.

3 is watery thin and works nice for capillary application and sets up very fast.

16 is syrupy and gives you a bit more working time.

Could you just do a 2" deep aluminum pan? If it's fully wrapped you won't see the material anyhow.

Thanks as always guys. I want a slower set time so I think I will get the #4 and #16 and see which works best for me.
