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.

Thats Polymer disolution fixation. Pfft solvent welding indeed 😉

Tensol is not just solvent, its got acrylic in it too.
