Jkay Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 Perhaps the adhesive weakened the plexi enough, that the stress lines in the material had an opportunity to become stress fractures.
Jkay Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 OR MAYBE ... the glue you used was for use on glass only ??

jmb Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 The UV cement I have is a cyanoacrylic compound not too unlike superglue. I suppose it could react with/weaken plexi...
Jkay Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 The reason I care about this, is that grinding off the cyclops of a Clark's and re-attaching a new cyclops is an almost perfect solution for all the PT 1680 people out there with DWs and cyclopses out of alignment
1680 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 Personally I wouldn't like a mineral cyclob on my plexi crystal, are there any plexi magnifier?

Whatever123 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Posted August 15, 2011 I haven't seen any plexi cyclopses yet - but you don't really see the difference. When I had the mineral crystal cyplops glued on the plexi it looked perfectly right. I couldn't see or even feel a difference. I might try again with another cyclops - maybe it was just bad luck that the plexi cracked...
