What glue to use on white acrylic?

[Sulla]

OK, I got my hands on some white acrylic that I want to use for a scratch build Trek Tool project. I usually use CS glue, but I fear it's brittleness for this piece. I have used PVC type welding adhesives before and I know there has to be something out there for acrylic.

Anyone know where to point me?

Wow, haven't scratch built in a while, I forgot about this stuff! Thanks for the head's up. I have a couple of jars of the plastic weld. I wonder if it ever goes bad? They've been sitting in a bin for well over a year now...

It does have a shelf life. Not sure how long. If it is thicker than water or has a yellow tint, you may want to replace it. It should be clear and fairly thin.
