I got started on the big peel and bond mission today...but it’s my 26th anniversary today so i suppose i can cut out early. Ill be back on it tomorrow. Here is what i have so far

It may be hard to tell because it is crystal clear...but the seams you see here are bonded with acrylic solvent. They came out supreme (so far).

Again, you can't see it but where those are joined together, the acrylic solvent is crystal clear.  It is a bond that is better than the actual material. It is more of a weld and less of a glue. In fact it isn't even glue at all. Just solvent. I did the bolts (1/4 x 20 x 1 1/2") because i wanted them in there but at this rate, they don't really need to be there. It was nice to suck the pieces together with them though instead of a clamp.  This thing should look nutty when fully peeled! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look real close...the seam is welded. It is one.  And it came out clean! especially for a huge 1" slab.  It is EASY to completely ruin this so i am happy it is going well so far.
