Or you could make good cuts and just use weldon 4 for 5.99 a tin (this will do about 75 reactors) I have used it on stuff that is 3 years old and still in use (made from extruded tube) and not a leak yet. I have never seen weldon 5 personaly.

here is the weldon descriptions

3/Non-Flammable/Clear

Water-thin, very fast set, solvent cement for acrylics. Also bonds other plastics such as styrene, butyrate and polycarbonate to themselves.

4/Non-Flammable/Clear

Water-thin, fast set, solvent cement for acrylics. Also bonds other plastics such as styrene, butyrate and polycarbonate to themselves

5/Clear

Water-thin, medium set, solvent cement. Formulated for, but not limited to, bonding Cyro FF, ICI Perspex and Plex MC.

16/Clear

Fast drying, high-strength, medium-bodied cement. Bonds acrylic to itself. Also for styrene, butyrate, polycarbonate, other plastics and porous surfaces.

40/Clear

Two-component, reative, high-strength adhesive, clear joints. Good weatherability.


so as you can see weldon 5 isn't even for acrylic.
