C2187 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Hey has anyone had any luck bonding acrylic to glass with silicone? I also need a good source for plexiglass/acrylic/pvc fittings on the web. Thanks. Link to comment
Smokey Joe Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Why not use epoxy for bonding and silicone as a sealant around the edges? I think this would be much stronger. Link to comment
NanoReefer53 Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 there's some adhesives called weld-on that they sell at home depot that is excellent for bonding acrylic. Link to comment
Toyfreek Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Is weld on reef safe? Marine epoxy is a good idea as well. never thought of that. Toy Link to comment
C2187 Posted May 23, 2002 Author Share Posted May 23, 2002 Do I use the epoxy just to hold the acrylic to the glass. Are you saying that the epoxy won't give me a good water tight seal to the glass? Put the silicone over the epoxy? Am I getting this right? I have only siliconed plexiglass to glass I am inexperienced with acrylic to glass. What kind of epoxy is reef safe? Thanks Link to comment
