As the title says, I need to fill some 1/4in holes in plexiglass. I've been doing research and found Weld-on Acrylic Cement that could possibly work but I am wondering if the holes would be too big for that.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks

If its on a part of the plexiglass you look through, I would not do this. It will make it to were the image you see will be distorted. Even trying to remove scratches can cause this. Most times it's best to replace then try and repair.

My .02 cents.

These are also available in black? Don't know if it's a dumb idea, but they are the right size anyway.

Most acrylic cements are solvent cements that work by dissolving the plastic on both sides and hence have poor gap filling capacities.

What I'd be tempted to try is one of the UV-cured acrylic resins. They sell these even at the home centers. They dry pretty clear (not optically great but OK).
