Where to buy Weldon

[sree]

Hi,
My acrylic baffles in my sump came off today. I used the 100% silicone but I guess it was not a good approach. Does anyone know where I can buy a small tube of weldon #16 to fix the baffles?


Thanks
Sree

What are you trying to glue them to? Acrylic or glass?

PureReef in Alpharetta carries it. Hanging on the shelf to the right side of the offices.

The sump is acrylic. The baffles are the Lexan polycarbonate that I got from lowes.

I was thinking of superglue or gorilla glue today but wasn't sure if this was safe to use in the aquarium.

super glue is usually no problem....just use the gel so it doesnt run everywhere......wont hurt anything.....not sure about the gorilla glue though...most ppl use super glue for mounting frags so its no problem....but not sure about acrylic to acrylic.....but it does bond about anything

i would too....thats what its made for.....super glue will end up becoming brittle over time and breaking off.....its only good for a temporary fix
