Prep the sheets properly first and work through the gluing without using glue at first.
Things You Will Need
Glue PVC Sheets
-
Measure the PVC sheet and cut it to the desired size. Use a jigsaw or reciprocating saw fitted with a fine-tooth blade to cut the PVC. Get rid of any ridges by scraping the cuts with a utility knife.
-
Do a dry fit to ensure everything is properly lined up. This step is done to minimize any mistakes when using the actual cement. Make any necessary cuts and adjustments.
-
Spread the PVC primer on the areas where the two PVC sheets will overlap. The function of the primer is to clean and soften the plastic.
-
Apply the PVC cement to the primed area on the PVC sheet.
-
Slide the PVC sheets together and hold the cemented sheets in place for 30 seconds. Wipe away any excess glue with a dry rag. Allow the cement to completely dry, approximately two hours.
