DIY often means using and/or repurposing stuff to do stuf for which it was never intended - fixing stuff that can't be fixed - or generally making due with whats on hand.

Super-glue, silicon and epoxy are reliable products for most needs , but there are some plastics which defy bonding...namely anything of the polyethylene familty.

So for all of you tinkerers and DIYers out there I have found a solution that has worked like a charm every time I have used it...stuff that I thought was impossible.

Thought I would share as this should be in everyones bag of tricks...they say its not for potable water - but I've used it in my reef after a full cure with no issues...YMMV.

TAP - poly-weld.
