Anyone know if the Alumilite or Liquid Diamond epoxies will bond to acrylic?

If I was to use pieces of acrylic sheet in a mold and put Alumilite or LD in with it, would they bond to the acrylic or just "stick" to it.

Next time I pour some resin I will setup a test for myself but was hoping maybe someone already knows the answer.

Thanks!

By all reports, LD is STICKY... At a bare minimum I'd be using mold release and doing a small test. I've used PVC just fine with alumilite, but I also use Stoner mold release.

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my intent. Im not using the Acrylic as a mold, but rather putting acrylic pieces into the mold.
I'm actually hoping the AL or LD will bond to the acrylic. I don't want it to separate while turning. There is a difference between bonding and sticking.
