Hope some one can set me straight on a few issues.
I want to build a tank with wood (covered in epoxy) frame - ie, wood corners, top frame, bottom frame with acrylic viewing panels in between the wood frames ( hope I am explaining that right). Think of an old steel framed aquarium from the dark ages. Except I want to use wood for the frame.
So what can i use to bond/water seal the acrylic panels to epoxy covered wood frames ?
I am in a 3rd world country so no local supply of acrylic at all. I have to import everything. It is a lot closer, easier and cheaper to import from China where i am. I have been reading the threads here and keep reading about what a disaster Chinese acrylic is. I have little choice but to use Chinese. Does anyone know of at least a medium quality acrylic that can be sourced in China? I dont need to bond acrylic to acrylic if I can find a way to bond acrylic to epoxy. So it will mainly be a need for acrylic that does not bow too much.
Any information gratefully received.
