DIY - Projects & Ideas • Gorilla GLue?

[ka2zesmi786]

i need to plug 3 holes at the bottom of my acrylic tank. little did i know that silicone wont cut it. due to the natural oils found in the plastic and the pressure it is put under, silicone is a nice temporary fix but will eventually fail. so i have to start all over. i was thinking of using gorilla glue to to glue together the patches of acrylic. is this good enough? im just trying to find a product that i can find at lowes or home depot. i have no clue where i can get weldon other than from online and i dont feel like spending a lot of money on shipping.

Have you looked into Weldon 16? Tapps, along with many other places carry it and all have very reasonable shipping.

BUy the Weldon...you'll need it eventually if you stay in the hobby...trust me!

I certainly wouldn't trust Gorilla Glue. It isn't even as strong as the much cheaper PVA glues for gluing wood.

ok i guess they sell it at sears according to the internet. i'll go check it out tomorrow.

Yup Weld-On is only option for acrylic on acrylic.
