Acrylic repair?

[Diamond1]

I was cleaning some equipment in preparation for doing my tank install when I broke my HOB overflow. :sad:
Was wondering what would work better for fixing it Weldon 40 or Weldon 3?

weldon 3

Are you positive it's acrylic and not plastic.? Weldon 3 is the real fast setting compared to #4 which is still fast setting.
But you will need to add strength around the break since that is a high stress point before it got broke. Mabey something like this Gatzies - Oz. Epoxy Adhesive In Syringe Applicator.

Thanks for the replies. I'll use the Weldon 3. It is a cast acrylic lifereef over flow.

I'd go with Weldon 40 every time. Perhaps use 3 to keep them tacked together, then 40 to make it permanent. Just my .02

3 then 16. 16 is thicker and will fill any small spaces in the seams.

Anybody have a link to suppliers? I can't find it at any of the hardware stores in town.

Amazon would work.

40 works better for repairs. 3,4 and 16 are all solvents.
