What can be used when bonding Lexan with PVC? I've got a 1/4" sheet of Lexan I want to attach some PVC pipe accessories too, either edge or face.

I may be wrong on this but a number of years ago, I had to glue some Lexan together to make a box. I remember being told that I had to take a router and take a skim cut to remove the coating on the face of the Lexan. Once I did that, I used an acrylic adhesive to glue the pieces together.

Investigate IPS Weld-On glues and solvents.
Weld-on Vendor I do recall bonding polycarbonate to machine grade PVC with their products. I used to do a lot of work with plastics, and I recall they had a solvent for every needed combination.

Yes, IPS adhesives. That's the name of the adhesive that I used. I couldn't remember it for nothing. I totally agree, check their website, call them if necessary. They are extremely helpful.
