I'm trying to find a good deal on a 19" section of 8" to 9" acrylic tube to create a cylinder-shaped internal overflow. White, black, or clear is fine.
Anyone have connections or supplier ideas?
Thanks!
 
Can pvc be bonded securely to acrylic? The tank is acrylic.
 
Weld on #40. I would use a lot of clear cleaner on the pvc. This will soften the pvc for a better solvent weld. I have not bonded pvc to acrylic but I have bonded pvc pipe to pvc flat stock. A lot of cleaner on both surfaces than a good amount of weight to hold the pieces together while the cement cures.
You can google pvc to acrylic and may get some ideas.

Thank you for the tip! Much appreciated. Looking for PVC pipe as well.
