I see products such as Tensol 12; Tensol 70; Extru-Fix; Evo Bostik 7452 and other quality adhesives to bond cast or extruded acrylic, but I seem to be having a hard time finding anything that comes in a 50 or 100 ml bottle or tin. I think these quality adhesives seems to only come in 500 ml tins. Is there anything out there similar to Tensol 12, Tensol 70 or Extru-Fix that's available in smaller quantities. I don't really want to buy anything more than say 100 ml if I can help it, because much more I think will go to waste. I'm trying to stick together a prototype lamp made of acrylic. Thanks.

I've got the impression that "superglues" are not quite the same as the products I mention. Like not strong enough. I dunno, perhaps all I'm needing a ubiquitous "superglue" kind of product. When I sat "lamp" I mean table-lamp. Ends (3mm wide) just butting up against flat surfaces.

Thanks. I believe you can weld acrylic. Done properly, that should be stronger.

I think you may struggle to find acrylic glues in much smaller quantities. RS do 250ml bottles which is about the smallest I've seen http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=0144399 Somewhere like the hobby craft dealer Fred Aldous may offer something smaller. For a prototype you might get away with using water clear epoxy if you are careful about how you mix it to avoid bubbles. Don't be tempted to use superglue - it fumes and the fumes will set on optical surfaces leaving an opaque mist that is hard to polish off.
