How to bond PVC and Acrylic sheet (Lucite)?

[NH]

One of the sections of my roll-up floor of my AvonInflatable dinghy is broken.. It's very expensive to buy a new floor. I'm thinking of mending it by cementing the PVCfloor section between two Lucite sheets (atransparent acrylic material, like perspex Isuppose).So, what do I use to bind the PVC to the acrylicsheet??Thanks for any advice..-NH.

plex flex

I don't think it will work. The acrylic is way too brittle to hold up in the floor of your dink, even if you could bond it. Why don't you use PVC sheet and use PVC cement to bond it?
