Curing Time for Acrylic Glue?

[ron101]

I got a jar of acrylic bonding agent from a local plastics shop to do some repairs on my preskimmer box. Don't know exactly what it is but it is pretty volatile and viscous.

Anyhow what do you guys use for curing times for something like Weldon before putting it back into your system?

1 hr maybe? I know my #4 dryies is about 10 minuts, my #16 takes quite some time (about a hr). On the bottle it says 24 hrs for a hard dry, and up to a couple weeks for full cure.

Probably methyl chloride, which is the same as weld on #3. It bonds solidly within minutes, but full strength is achieved in a few days. You can work with the plastic almost right away after gluing.
