Shoppers Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Is there such a thing? I have a water pump that some 19mm tubing fits snugly into (rather than trying to find a 26mm to 19mm reducer) and want some glue to strengthen the connection Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 silicone, use they type for glass tanks. or you could just get a hose clamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoppers Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Was unsure if silicon was ok for bonding plastics. I have some old A4 sized plastic letter trays for sump dividers and i think the silicon is going to come in very handy Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Silicone is no good for flexible plastics. Hot glue gun works on some but go get the right fitting and give up the flooding worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Is there such a thing? Superglue, kneadit, silicone without antifungals, most epoxies, PVC solvent for plumbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepsnana Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Superglue, kneadit, silicone without antifungals, most epoxies, PVC solvent for plumbing. Please specify "no mould inhibitor". Otherwise it could get ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepsnana Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hi Sarah, go to your local ITM and ask for Sikasil RTV-Clear. Bunnings or Mitre10 may have a similar product. HERE is a quick product guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
