Which adhesive is best for bonding acrylics to wood to make up a bowl blank?

Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul.
On yachts I've had to bond acrylic,plastic,aluminium etc.to wood and found epoxy resin works every time.
Regards,
Rod

I think I`d use epoxy resin to,make sure you rough the acrylic up well to get a good bond though
