Anyone have any experience with weldon 40? I was pretty set on using Weldon 4 to build my tank but the salesperson at the shop told me I should be using 40 instead. This is a display tank so the edges must look good and be bubble free and most importantly strong. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

It's good.

It's very strong and clear.

You have to mix 2 parts like epoxy.

Strong fumes though.

Use it in a well ventilated area. If I recall correctly, the fumes are highly carcinogenic.

Do you apply it like you would silicone? Onto the edge of the piece then push together?

Harvey, if you wanna test some of mine out sometime, feel free to shoot me a PM. I can bring the kit over - actually I could bring over #4, 16, and 40... you can see what you like and what would work best for you? I have ample amounts of each so I can spare a few test runs. :)

Cheers,

Chris
