Glueing up acrylic?

I have been having a fine time cutting acrylic with my laser, but how do you do a nice job of gueing? I have bought every syringe and bottle that I can find and the Weld-on 3 always drips all over and makes thing nasty. Any suggestions? Thanks Gene
 
You have to use squeeze bottle with needle. Apply light pressure and release slightly. Suction will keep solvent from dripping.

This. While holding the bottle upright, squeeze as much of the excess air out of the bottle as possible, then you can invert the bottle to apply the glue and you will get no drips. Apply the glue along the edges of whatever you're gluing and capillary action will draw glue evenly between two pieces of acrylic.
