Laff it up....I'm diy'ing... :rolleyes: :lol:
I need to glue some PVC legs to a piece of acrylic. What do I use? :biggrin:
(no, it's not the new coffee table.......)...
GR 2 part epoxy should work. Kind of pricey ($25+) where I picked it up. Cures to a kind of yellowish color though. There is some in your bubble counter where the small acrylic tube is glued to the PVC JG fitting.

weldon 16 I believe is made for joining acrylic to dissimular plastics.
here is a rundown of a few Weldon products
"WELDON #3
Non-Flammable. Water-thin, very fast set, solvent type for acrylics. Will also bond other plastics such as styrene, butyrate and polycarbonate to
themselves.
WELDON # 16
Fast drying, high strength, bodied. Bonds acrylics to itself. Also for styrene, butyrate, polycarbonate and other plastics and porous surfaces.
WELDON # 10 (WHITE OR GREY IN COLOUR)
2-Part, high strength structural adhesive. High viscosity. Bonds PVC, acrylics, styrene, ABS, polycarbonates to steel, aluminium, etc.
WELDON # 40
A 2-Part reactive, high strength structural adhesive."

The guy at Industrial Plastics and Paints is fairly clever. They have both products on the shelf.

Silicone is basically your only option and NO it's not structural. Basicaly it sticks to the glass and kinda makes a dam for the acrylic to sit against.

Crap! Maybe I'd be better off going with glass pieces.

A related question: I want to make a 2' long turkey baster for coral feeding, I'd like to attach some pvc pipe to the plastic turkey baster material, I have silicone, pvc glue, and the "super glue" that Ocean Aquatics sells, what is the best thing to use?
