acrylic question

[fish_guy]

I am in the process of dividing my sump into sections.
The main body is acrylic and I was wondering if I can use plexiglass or acrylic to make the dividers?
I have a ton of 1/4" plexiglass here and was thinking of using it.
Also where can I find acrylic solvent in the Marietta area?
Thanks for any info

Just be aware this is not a glue. It physically fuses the pieces together. So just make sure you get it right! Also weld-on 16 is thicker and easier to work with the 4 or 3 so I would suggest that.

True. There is a place in Paulding called Curbell Plastics (which I may have spelled wrong), and I was told by someone here that they had it. I went today to get some and was informed that they don't carry it (they were not just out of stock). Just an FYI in case anybody suggests that place... don't waste your gas.

No problem; I didn't think I'd have to get a second opinion on that!

As to sponsors carrying it, I'd love to know who for future reference. The only one I knew of was SWC... I guess I can relate this story now that SWC is history.

I called Sal and he confirmed that he had a tube of #16. A friend was going over there, so I told Sal he'd pick it up for me.

He sold me a tube that he had used about 20% of... of course, at full price. Gotta love that.

Qptimum had it the other day.# 16 that is I will have#3 by the weekend

Chloroform works as well from what i have heard - but ya have to to have access to it

 

[fish_guy]

Has anyone tried Grainger industrial supply?
They show it on line. And there are several locations around the Atlanta area

McMaster Carr probably has it as wekk and they are around Fulton Industrial Blvd(I believe) on the west side of town.

Last time I checked McMaster-Carr had only one kind, and it was one of the "thin as water" varieties. #4 if memory serves.

 

[rockdog]

yep #4 is what they(mcmaster) stocks.

Sorry Barry, I still feel bad about that. I should have noticed it :blush:
