Laminating plastics

Hi Guys

What glue should I use for laminating plastics when constructing buildings? I used a locally made (UK) solvent glue called plasticweld but this seems to be causing my walls to warp, gets worse the more detail I add to the building. I am laminating plastic brick paper to plain plasticard. All my mouldings etc are plastic strip that I then glue in place on the wall

Thanks

Wayne

Hi

When laminating plasticard I find that using an odd number of layers tends to stop it warping.

Cheers
