Video: Gluing a bubble-free acrylic seam

Very cool video and thank you for sharing here Marc. You always make it look so easy.

A couple of quick questions about cleaning the edge before welding. Are you using a simple water solution and microfiber cloth? And do you have any issues with microfiber cloth leaving any fuzz on the edge of the acrylic being welded? I've always been using compressed air to blow the edge off.

Cheers,
Alex

Very nice video for those who have never worked with acrylic before, some hobbyist don't know about the pin method. Also, you get hobbyist thinking about new ideas.

Nice video and thanks for sharing. It´s difficult to see videos working acrylic. In the video, are working with chloroform? Did you work with other special glue for acrylic?

Thanks for the awesome video (and all your videos from a long-term YouTube subscriber!)

Maybe a silly question, but I don't have a ton of tools. How important is a "joiner", and are there special acrylic models, or will wood joiners work with different blades?

Thanks again!
