Acrylic aquarium apoxy?

[Flatbrook]

Hello everyone, I am pondering the thought of building a small 20 - 30 gal acrylic for my bed room. What type of apoxy should I use on the build?

The product for bonding acrylic is weld-on. They're are different "formulas" I believe weld-on 4 would be good in this application.

Where might one find weld-on?

You may have to order it online. I'm not familiar with any acrylic places in Mass. But if you can find a local acrylic supplier or manufacturer you should be able to get it there as well

Not a problem. Check out some videos on YouTube for acrylic bonding and you should get the idea. Good luck

Thanks, 1 more thing, any idea on the thickness I should use on a 20 gal?

Without a eurobrace I would say 1/2". I am no acrylic expert hopefully someone with a bit more experience can chime in.
