Scored a good(ish) Acrylic Tank - Please ADVISE ON NEXT STEPS

Thank you both!

I don't remember 100% but I think 16 is thicker and comes in a tube like toothpaste. I used that to reinforce the seams on a sump at the direction of a local acrylic place. It still holds water today been about 15 years.

I'm actually thinking 16 is the more viscous of them, more liquid and 40 is thicker like a paste. 16 is better for filling small cracks in the seams and 40 is almost like pouring in a bead of acrylic cement.

I could be mixed up though it's been awhile since I played with acrylic.

16 is the thicker of the two.

16 is the thicker of the two.

My mistake.

Edit: I looked up the data sheets on each...seems 16 has a viscosity of 800 cp while 16 has a viscosity of 2900...



Not trying to be argumentative, wouldn't that mean 40 is significantly thicker, or am I not interpreting viscosity correctly?
