TM Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Does anyone know what glue you would use to glue pvc to acrylic? I am thinking of either weld on 40 or innotec marine epoxy (same as deltec uses) Can you get this innotec stuff in NZ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Mulford plastics say WeldOn 10 for PVC to acrylic. But they can't get it. Dave (nodle) said that there is another plastic company which has adhesives and glues with cross-references to WeldOn codes. He may be able to help.

nodle Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Hi Tim, Layton The plastics place is Award plastics on (wordsworth street i think). The glue that we used to use at work was Quickbond and it comes in several different grades and has a cross referance to Weldon. From memory it was quite cheep about $17 for 250mls. We used to ues it for glueing Acrylic pipe to pvc for lage sight glasses 250mm NB pipe at 20meters head so it will hold up for most things in a tank. Dave.

Control Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I use Award Plastis as well but only for cement I get my acrylic elseware due to cost. I have a bottle of Quick-Bond 10 which is a thickend cement in front of me that has a chart on it. It show that it is suitable for use to join acrylic to PVC. Are you doing your own cutting. if so do not overheat the acrylic or it will craze as the cement sets. These are links from Reef Centrals DIY page that you may find helpfull. Pretty much that facts and how to of acrylic. http://www.ipscorp.com/wo_html/howto.html http://www.piedmontplastics.com/index_new.htm?index=0 http://www.sdplastics.com/acrylic.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
