What do you use to glue acrylic?

KRP · 03-10-2006, 06:34 PM

I'm going to glue some baffles into my acrylic sump and was wondering if what I picked up at the local glass store was safe to use.

The stuff I picked up is called Accubond. Comes mixed in a small plastic squirt bottle with a needle applicator and is made for glueing acrylic.

Is this stuff safe for my livestock once it has dried?

Thanks for any help.

I'm not experienced with acrylic, but I believe most folks use weldon. I'm not sure which one though.

Ya, I tried to find Weld On #4 but couldn't find it locally.

I have tried to do some research on the web but I'm not having much luck. I have found that Accubond is the name of the Corporation based in Pa. but that is about it. Couldn't find any product information.

I think this epoxy would be safe to use once dry but I guess it is better to be safe than sorry. Thanks for the help.
