Acrylic Bonding & Marking?

Has anyone used this product for acrylic bonding? Wondering if this might be less noxious/flammable that the ubiquitous Weld-On product line…

Also, any recommendations for coloring in engraved marks in acrylic? Like the tick marks on a Founders Ruler made from acrylic…

They’re both pretty similar.

Acrylic paint? Should be able to brush on and wipe off the surface.

Paint pens followed by a wipe off that leaves it in the scores but cleans off the surface.

Or spray it with paint before pulling the masking.

Yes, I used this glue recently on these acrylic table numbers. It worked well and I don’t recall it having a particularly strong smell.

Thank you @cynd11 and @Jules

I’m really looking forward to getting my glowforge but until then it’s great being able to see what everyone is doing with the prerelease glowforges!

If you spray it with the paint, does that color come down into the acrylic? Or have I just not had enough coffee this morning to understand what you mean? lol

yes, it fills in the etches.

You have my attention lol should this be done directly on the acrylic or on the protective paper?

Paint first. That fills the etches. Then peel the paper after the paint dries.
