I have an acrylic tank that blew a seam.
Before I throw the tank out, I was wondering if the acrylic can be re-used for a project?
I'm not sure if the acrylic can be cleaned up to the point where I'd be able to get a good weld, or how acrylic cuts after having one side exposed to water for years.
I'd be using it to make an "insert" for my Rubbermaid sump. So looks aren't too important. I could use a thicker formula of Weld-On. And if it did in fact start to leak, it would just leak into the sump.
It was a 4'x2'x 1' tank. I'd hate throwing all that acrylic out if I could've used it for something else.
TIA
