Yea... im actually building the entire overflow from scratchI have done corner overflows with silicone many times with no issues.
Its how all corner overflows are done to glass.
Then you need weldon 4. I have made many sumps with it.Yea... im actually building the entire overflow from scratch
Yep....thats what I've used...this must not be acrylicIf it is all out of acrylic you'll want to bond the pieces not glue them. Weldon 3 or 4 is what you're looking for.
Can you clear something up? What did you use?Yep....thats what I've used...this must not be acrylic
I tried my weldon 4 and it didn't bond...thats why I was asking about the epoxy. The material is BLACK high density poly sheets (HDPE). Evidently weldon doesn't work with that stuff.Can you clear something up? What did you use?
The epoxy in your first post is not a solvent. Weldon 3 or 4 is less viscous than water. Weldon actually softens the acrylic and allows the acrylic to bond to itself. There isn't any glue or epoxy involved.
Hey brother I'm about to build a mini surface skimmer, sorta like an overflow without the over, basically a small box out of acrylic. I was just wondering how I was going to bond it together. Literally was just thinking about it and came across this post! Good timing. I should order myself some Weldon #4 then correct?Then you need weldon 4. I have made many sumps with it.
Hmm interesting, I don't know of a solvent that will bond HDPE. Outside of actually welding it, epoxy is probably the best option.I tried my weldon 4 and it didn't bond...thats why I was asking about the epoxy.
