Exclamation Re: Joining polycarbonate /Perspex panels to make a case?

Good advice, Kevin: Tensol cement contains three active chemicals, all 'not nice': 2-phenoxyethanol; methyl methacrylate; dichloromethane (a.k.a methylene chloride). The vapours of all, if breathed in, will do you no good whatsoever, with the last chemical probably the worst in that regard. Information received indicates that users who have a heart problem should stay well away from the vapours of dichloromethane.

If I recall correctly, wasn't dichloro' the active ingredient in the now not obtainable original Nitromors paint remover? And for some reason, the word 'anti-freeze' is now lurking somewhere in the back of my memory . . .

Tensol cement #12: the data safety sheet is attached. (It's a pdf download):
