I mix my own chemicals. It’s mostly methylene chloride and some thickener. 100 to 5 ratio. This actually melts the two plastics together like weld on instead of just flying them.
There are many reasons for crazing. The most common are because the use of alcohol based bonding agents or because the edges were overheated when cutting.
