weld-on substitute?

[fmelindy]

I'm trying to build an acrylic skimmer and the one thing I'm having trouble getting locally is weld-on of any type. Now I know that Weld-on is methylene chloride but I'm wondering if anybody knows any other cements/glues that have methylene chloride in them. (some other brand name?) Is it possible that I'm missing it simply because I'm looking only for "weld-on"?

sometimes just called methylene chloride. Any acrylic shop will carry it

I made an acrylic tank a while back and there's a few places that carry weld-on. industrial plastics and paints in rochmond is the place I went to, but there was one in vancouver... can't recall the name.

I forgot that my profile still says "vancouver", I'm actually living in St. John's right now - not exactly a place with a lot of "acrylic shops", in fact I can't find one! Just wondering if it comes in different brand names...

Got a home depot?

yep, but they don't appear to carry weld-on... do they carry some other product that is similar that you know of?
