Hi,
I am attaching a small internal overflow box to a used 75g acrylic tank, and I just found out that the surface is not fat when the overflow box lays on the surface: about 1/8 inch gap!
It seems not idea to use the watery acrylic glue, do you think so? Do you think I can use heat gun to soften acrylic surface and use clamps to force to eliminate the gap while applying the watery glue? or given it is a small overflow box, perhaps silicone glue would be good enough? Or ???
This is my first time ever working with acrylic and did not think thru enough before getting this used acrylic tank :-(. Please share your thoughts or freely share what you would do.
