CA glue and acrylics

[Ron Altier]

I have limited experience with Acrylics and I need some advice on gluing. In the past I have used CA  to  glue acrylics to wood, however I have always used a center post to assure that it would stay together.  Can I successfully glue a flat acrylic material to a flat wood piece and then turn it without worrying about it coming apart.  It will be a small piece, such as a Christmas ornament.  

 

Thanks

I've never tried this but I wonder if the joint adhesive they use for Corian countertops would work.

 

Here's a  site that may help- http://www.thistothat.com/

I watch N Z Woodturning on youtube a lot. Nick does it all the time but I am not sure what glue he uses. I know it's not CA glue, it looks more like titebond.

I received a free sample of Rapid fuse and have really liked the results. However, even tho I have sealed it good when I finished, the glue is getting more like jello in the container.  I am thinking of giving it a try on some scrap. Will let you know how it works out

Thanks Rusty, that is a very good reference. I may set up a test piece for goop too

I glued my shoe with Goop Glue.  Held together for a very long time.  It must be good stuff and I believe it glues anything to anything.

I agree with that. I'm using mine more and more.
