quick acrylic mending question

[skwirl]

my skimmer came apart. can i use pvc cement to put it back together?

You should use weld-on 3 or 4, if the acrylic came apart.

since it cam apart, I would use weld-on 16. weld on 3 or 4 are best for new clean joints. 16 is stronger but does not look as nice because it will pool a bit. I have done this several times

[skwirl]

can you get it at home depot? and about how much is it?

[harrisagogetter]

no just go to any sign shop that deals with acrylics they should have some pretty cheap usually under 10 bucks. But most of them are not open today.....

I recently fix the neck on my ets reefdevil. It worked well.No leaks.
I used weldon-4 with a long nose aplicator. I was going to put the 16 on as well over it but didnt need to. The aplicator is important for a clean fine tuned fix. Direct from the tube will work but will be a much larger bead and because it actually fuses the acrylic together, i'm not sure you want to use to much. Get a hold of the weldon and you'll be all set. A tube of this stuff will save you hundreds of $. Just let it dry for a full 24hrs if you can before using the skimmer.
