Acrylic Bonding Note

Post by Dragon Warrior Jasen »

I noticed that a lot of folks use Acrlic and plastics to build their stuff here, but a those folks use hot glue to connect it all. Is there a reason you dont use WELDON-3 or 4 to do it?

I have built a few aquariums with acrylic and you have to use the WELDON to get a water tight seal where the acrylic is pieced together. It is a very watery substance that chemically bonds the acrylic together... getting a much cleaner and nice look than hot glue.

Here is a good acrylic works site, an aquarium site but great DIY with acrylic...

Is IPS weldon instant bonding like hot glue or do you have to wait like 24hrs for it to dry?

it starts to bond immediately with a strong bond within 15 mins or so, fully cured within 24 hours.

It is not junk! It is assorted goods with no current use.
