How to cement together acrylic (plexiglass)

DEMON PIE!
Hailraizer showed us a while back how to ABS cement together pieces of plastic. The only disadvantage is, that when you sand it, there are always tiny bubbles. This can be solved by using bondo or spot and glazing putty, but some of us do not like using bondo on our cases. Here's a way to bond together pieces of acrylic.



Pretty much the same thing as ABS cement, because I believe this stuff is also based on acetone, but I'm going to buy some and see how it does. It'll allow for cleaner joints, as long as your pieces are cut smooth. I'm thinking that this might be a better solution than a polycase, in that you decide the exact size of your case when you use acrylic sheets. As long as you don't screw up when you make your cuts, you'll never need to sand your case.
 
There's this stuff at school we use for gluing plastic. It's called Methylene Chloride I think, sold as a solvent.
