acrylic tank crazing - problem?

[Hari Haran]

Can i know if following crazing on a acrylic tank is an issue?

3/4 inch thick, it does hold water, should i add some weld-on 16 on the inside or silicone for extra strength as i saw there was very little of them inside. thanks.

Do not silicone acrylic. It makes it extremely difficult to ever repair or work with again. Weldon #16 will actually cause more crazing. Like a lot more (I learned the hard way three times, it's legit). If you want to add filler use Weldon #40.

Does it look to be separating at all or just the crazing? If just crazing it should be fine. If separating you will need to use the tip and pour technique for #40.

I don't see it separating, its just an inch of crazing, i will add weldon 40 just to be safer. thanks.
