    I believe solvent is what you need.

    Tensol is the stuff you need.

    Try Screwfix or K&M

    You dont need 'a solvent' as that implies that the perspex is going to be the solute and your going to try and make a solution out of the perspex and solvent…

    What are you glueing to the acrylic/perspex??

    Tensol will bond acrylic to acrylic.

    Google 'solvent welding'. Might be the terminology isn't to your liking but it's a standard approach and that's what it's called.

    Agreed 5th – Tensol is a solvent and will "weld" or "fuse" acrylic together.
