Weldon alternatives

[mjw011689]

I’m looking to add a couple baffles to an acrylic sump. Nothing crazy weight bearing by any means, and won’t have a lot of water pressure on it either.

I’m having a hard time finding Weld-On at any stores by me. What other readily available product can be used instead?

Did you look on Amazon?

Yeah it’s on Amazon but I meant is there something that one of the big brands might carry in a store. Wanting to get this thing glued in today.

if you do silicone ,it'll take 48+ hrs to cure anyhow ,weld on cures in couple of hours,
try local glass company's...

I would recommend Weldon of course but! If it’s in a pinch and you need it now this would work for what you wanna do.. I wouldn’t build a sump or display with it.. just throwing some baffles in this will be fine.. most hardware stores will carry it.

Thank you, any particular brands you know of? Is there a specific one that is NOT safe?

Tried looking on Home Depot website and I can’t find Weld-On, but I may run in there to see if they do have it.

Surprisingly, some hardware stores also have it
