Zak,
Most often, a bonding agent, Methyl (something or other), sold by acrylic award suppliers and plastics houses is used.
The bonding agent is very evaporative, making "surgical" application of the liquid largely unnecessary.
Depending on how well (flat) the two surfaces line up, it's possible to make a seamless bond, but in my experience, it's difficult to avoid small areas where air may be trapped. Not very noticeable, but there.
The bonding agent fuses the two pieces together, so strongly, that trying to separate the pieces may result in breaking the acrylic pieces themselves, before the bond itself would ever be broken. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri
