Best agent to bond PETG

Depends on what type (strength) of bond you want. Both PTEG and styrene have solvent cements but not necessarily one solvent cement for both.

Superglue should work. I don't know how fine the mesh is. That might affect the look of the finished parts. Too thick might close some of the mesh. Best to experiment with scrap pieces.

I made some "diamond plate" by cementing fine nylon type screen to styrene with superglue, then paint it.

Best agent to bond PETG

Okay, I just got back with my expanded metal made with PETG at our library’s MakerSpace.

Now it needs to be bonded in place to create the floor of the storage rack.

What do people use to bond this PETG to styrene?
