first off acrylic is there a silicone that can bond acrylic to plywood the only thing i have heard of is weld on would adhesion be the same plywood to acrylic rather than acrylic to acrylic ?

contact cement on acrylic ? i have heard of it but what type to use ?

why does some threads state it needs to be a certain kind of acrylic ? is this for bonding purposes ?

second question drylok i've been searching threads and websites and seen it used (horror stories ?)

so to keep it plain and simple how do you bond acrylic to plywood ?

and what do you think of drylok

Plywood by itself will not hold water so why are you wanting to bond acrylic to plywood? If you are going to seal the plywood with something that is what you want the acrylic to be bonded to....such as liquid rubber, fiberglass, pond armor, etc.
Drylock does not work! Don't even consider it! You want to use cell cast acrylic. It is stronger and clearer then standard acrylics. Also, the non cell cast acrylics can become brittle over time when under stress.
