PVC and Acrylic

[mockery]

Can you bond PVC pipe and and Acrylic together? Want to try building something but for cost sake want to use both.

There is a Weld-on made for that. I forget the number but you can find it easily on the web.
Also, ACE Hardware sells a liquid epoxy that claims to bond PVC and acrylic. It's called Plastic Repair Epoxy (#17394).

The weld-on stuff for this does exist but it is expensive for a single DIY project... I have not seen the epoxy at ACE but that sounds promising...

I have a pack of it to do a future repair (where PVC meets acrylic on a Ca reactor), but I haven't tried it yet. I may just do that this morning and report back!

weldon #16 will work, and there is a special weldon for it like they said. BUT I have always used household GOOP for that(as well as acrylic to glass bonds) and its worked great every time.

Is the "GOOP" a product or something your calling it? Can you ge it at HD or Lowes?

I found the special Weld-On it is #40. But I'm thinking the 16 will work, for what u want to do. I'm wanting to bond an acrylic strip into a piece of PVC pipe. So that I can see inside the tube. Should be fine right?

GOOP is a product. Should be in a purple package (was last time I bought it, anyways).
