Product Description

Very Fast-Setting Solvent Cement for Bonding Acrylic. WELD-ON 3 is a water-thin, non-flammable cement formulated to quickly develop high strength, clear bonds to many thermoplastic substrates, particularly acrylic. The bond is achieved by first softening the surfaces to be joined and then fusing them together with dissipation of the solvent. The initial bond forms within a few minutes and quickly increases in strength. Substantial strength will be obtained within only a few hours. Under certain conditions, especially with high humidity, a white mark on the plastic (commonly called blushing) may sometimes be encountered. Where a more blush resistant cement and longer open time is required, WELD-ON 4 is recommended. Weld-On 3 Acrylic Adhesive is a water thin, very fast set, solvent type adhesive for acrylics. It also bonds other plastics such as styrene, butyrate, and polycarbonates to themselves. Does not bond to cross-linked acrylics. Shelf Life is two years from the date of manufacture printed on the bottom of the can. SUBSTRATE RECOMMENDATIONS : WELD-ON 3 is formulated for cementing acrylic (poly-methyl methacrylate) plastic to itself. It will also form strong bonds with other thermoplastics such as polystyrene, CAB (cellulose acetate butyrate), PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol) and polycarbonate to themselves. It is not recommended for cross-linked acrylic. SUGGESTED BONDING APPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: WELD-ON 3 is used extensively in sign fabrication. Strong butt joints are made with fat sheets by using the soak method for such applications as cementing letters to acrylic panels. Butyrate trim-capping of acrylics is another highly recommended use for WELD-ON 3 . It is also widely used in the POP industry (e.g. display), and in the fabrication and bonding of plastic containers, housewares, bottles and many other applications using the capillary method.

79 customers mention72 positive7 negative

Customers are satisfied with the performance of the product. They mention that it works great on styrene builds, plastic model car hobbyists, and acrylic. The cement itself works well, and it flows easily into all the cracks. The bonding time is extremely fast, and the solvent does its job well. Overall, most are happy with the product's performance.

"Excellent Product. There simply is nothing better on the market for acrylic bonding...." Read more

"...I used a 3 cc syringe, as it gave me more control. It worked very well...." Read more

"Well it worked great but the problem is I used it once to test it and when I went to use it for the actual project I bought it for it was evaporated..." Read more

"...I use it for assembling models from kits, as it works almost like an instant glue, but with a little time for adjusting parts...." Read more

43 customers mention38 positive5 negative

Customers like the adhesion of the product. They mention that it's extremely effective once set, with no glue build up. It works incredibly fast and makes a very strong bond. Some say that it bonds acrylic together almost instantly, and fuses the two pieces together in seconds.

"You just need to work fast and the joints will be together nicely. I use a needle instead to dose the cement" Read more

"...When used on ABS plastic it forms an almost instant bond. In well under a minute, the bond is strong enough to remove clamping force...." Read more

"...It takes only seconds. There.is no 'dry time', bond is.instant and cures more as time passes...." Read more

"...It works. It bonds the plexi. However, even with the supplied bottle and needle applicator, it is all but impossible to control...." Read more

26 customers mention26 positive0 negative

Customers are satisfied with the strength of the glue. They mention that it bonds very fast and is stronger than super glue. Some say that the glue is amazing at how well it holds and that the repair has held just fine. They also mention that the bond gets stronger over time and that it will not come apart.

"...In well under a minute, the bond is strong enough to remove clamping force...." Read more

"...Bond is instant, invisable and as strong as manufacturer fabrication.Excellent!" Read more

"...It appears to be very strong." Read more

"It's very strong, dried quickly and works like magic. Only bad thing is it was really hard to unscrew the can...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the vapor of the cement. Some mention that it dries fast and mildly odor free, while others say that it evaporates quickly.

"...to use it for the actual project I bought it for it was evaporated almost completely...." Read more

"...It dries very rapidly, in seconds. The biggest downside is that the viscosity is extremely low. It seems to be lower than water...." Read more

"...with the can lid screwed on as tight as I can make it, the liquid is still evaporating. In a year, probably a third of the liquid has evaporated...." Read more

"...Evaporates IMMEDIATE. I CAN NOT STRESS.THIS ENOUGH! Don't make the mistake I made and NOT read all instructions thoroughly!..." Read more

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the tools. Some mention that it works well and is easy to use, while others say that it's tricky and difficult to use. They say the instructions are not very clear, and it'll take some effort to get the lid off.

"I'm amazed at how well this stuff worked and how easy it was to use... Once I watched the YouTube video for the product, that is...." Read more

"...Contents were a little pressured and took some effort to get the lid off...." Read more

17 customers mention6 positive11 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the product. Some mention it's a great product with an excellent price, while others say it'll be a complete and utter waste of money. The additional bottle it comes with is worse than useless, the fluid runs out too fast, and it ruined their project. They feel cheated because the product isn't exactly cheap and is not as good as the formula 16 version.

"...But, the applicator bottle that comes with the can is pretty well worthless, as the volatile liquid flows out of the bottle too quickly and makes a..." Read more

"Good price" Read more

"...The bottle it comes with is worse than useless, the fluid runs out too fast, the bottle does not seal and all fluid evaporates from it in..." Read more

"...I feel cheated because this stuff isn't exactly cheap, and I feel like I paid for half a bottle...." Read more

20 customers mention0 positive20 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the solvent. They mention that it drips everywhere, ruining their hard work. The solvent leaks profusely from around the bottle neck spilling onto project. The bottle is too large, allowing the solvent to flood out uncontrolled. The lid does not fit properly and spilled out even after closed completely. The viscosity is thin, and it requires some technique to use without spilling. The volatile liquid flows out of the bottle too quickly.

"...It seems to be lower than water. This makes it very hard to pour and if one is not careful, it will run all over a surface...." Read more

"...It simply pours out of the needle. Not what I expected...." Read more

"...Noticed on my new can that it leaked if tipped over on the side...." Read more

"...The problem is that it's very difficult to pour the solvent into the applicator bottle without losing some of it, and my applicator bottle leaked..." Read more
