What adhesive to connect lexan to MDF?

Doc-:

I would go with laminating epoxy.  If you get the thin stuff (used for laminating) you can apply it with a paint roller.


Safron:

There are cheaper ways to make a bullet resistant cab :)

Witchboard:

He says he's sandwiching it.  I'm presuming he's going to put a light on one side so the lexan will glow like a line from the side.  I think contact cement would probably work well, unless it melts your lexan.  Haven't really tried to go lexan to anything before.  Good luck and let us know your results.

SirPeale:

The Gorilla Glue might work better, if it were compressed itself.  You'd need clamps, and use the glue *sparingly* and spread very, very thinly.

jcoleman:

You might try priming the MDF before gluing it all together.  Seems like if the MDF is primed, it won't soak up the glue.  Check with the guys at Home Depot on priming the MDF.  They should have something suitable.
