Can I bond acrylic to PVC with PVC pipe glue?
I have a project that involves PVC pipe with end caps made on the lathe, but Tap Plastics doesn't carry PVC sheet (or I'm misreading their website).
So -- do I make the end caps out of acrylic and bond with epoxy, do I scratch up some PVC, what?
(External caps won't work, alas -- I'm making a #6 battery replacement, so looks matter).
Aquarium people deal with this kind of stuff often. Take a look at
Thanks!

D'oh. I should have thought to check McMaster. This is why I ask questions...
Local box stores carry PVC foam board and PVC trim board. Also I believe Azec decking is a hard PVC board.
Shoulda looked to Ridout Plastics. ;)
Tooth is almost always a good idea when it comes to gluing, except when solvent gluing.
