Lexan is available in two types:-
Lexan Plexiglass Acrylic and Lexan Polycarbonate
If you are using Plexiglass then the suggestions given in previous posts should be fine.
I have also used plexiglass shavings dissolved in acetone as a cement but
it is not very good , but it does fill gaps.
Lexan Polycarbonate can be glued with a solvent called isophorone ( 3,5,5-trimethylcyclohex 2 enone ) .This solvent is usually found in cements for uPVC Pressure Pipes for mains pressure water. See example at

A workshop manual on Plexiglass / Perspex ( in the U.K ) including suitable cements can be found at :-

Hope this is helpfull
