tried to google it but Im not sure it would work because acrylic is a different form of plastic.

Do NOT use pvc cement on acrylic. scigrip 3 or 4 is appropriate, but consumers can no longer purchase it.

Recently went through the same dilemma here in Montreal. Went to a commercial acrylic shop who refilled my 10 oz can of Weldon 4 for $10 Cdn.
Don't use anything else but the Weldon 3 or 4 type solvent. Make sure you keep the can tightly closed!

Look through the Yellow Pages, any shop that makes stuff like acrylic signs for shops and stuff like that.

lol definitely does not bond. It sticks to acrylic but not strong at all.
