Default Weld-on 40

Hi guys, I have a problem with my Vertex reactor: I need to glue PVC to acrylic. I posted another thread with the details, and I found out the best product for the job is Weld-on 40. The problem is that by the time I source some, I will be without a reactor for a while....

Does anybody in the Lower Mainland have any Weld-on 40? I need a tiny amount and I'm willing to drive, and, obviously pay...

Are you running the reactor outside of the sump?

Yes, outside. Besides, this pipe is the just below the intake to the recirculating pump, so it needs to me water-tight....

So, I got a pint of the stuff; thanks Default! I used one one-hundredth of the volume for my joint, and now I am stuck with the rest. So, should any of you Canreef folks want some, please PM me.
