784) dont try to glue an optic on with #16 acrylic cement.
i had always wondered about this, and finnaly tried it.
harry said (one time) he had a liquid in the optic and the light transmission to the optic was better, its logical after all there is less reflective surfaces like that.
so i ALSO wanted to affix a lens to the led, instead of utalizing a holder, to reduce wieght and size.
#16 acrylic cement is a beautifull clear thick acrylic cement that makes perfectally clear thick holdings of 2 acrylic pannels , meaning it doesnt much mess up what it is supposed to be used on.
but i poured it into the base of the optic, and put the led in it, and the results were a total FROSTING of the (formerly clear) parts.
now my only hope for completing the experiment is that moulding plastic for paperweights.
