GlassCast 10 will bond to perspex no problem. Be aware that using 2 different materials may result in a visible join from certain angles.

Hi Warren, many thanks for the answer. I'll do some clear ones first until I got the process right but will hopefully do the castings  over a darker base once sorted.again many thanks
Best regards john
