What can I use other than Weld-on to bond acrylic?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Well, it sprung a leak, off to find some marine grade epoxy.

Anyone heard of or used Anchorlock or maybe it was called Anchor-tite?
 
You should have gotten more than three months out of that repair. Any idea what caused the leak? I don't know anything about that epoxy, sorry.
 
There's a crack at the base of one side (see 1st image on page 1.)
It seperated again, thankfully I siliconed the insides and I had a slow leak.

I lost about 5-10 gallons slowly over a week so I'm hoping that it didn't get into the neighbors appartment downstairs.


Anyway, I picked up three types of glue and epoxy, hopefully one is safe and suitable for repairing this thing.

Loctite Marine two part epoxy (liquid, not putty)
Super glue brand "Anchor-Tite" water proof Epoxy
and
Loctite "extreme repair" The packages says aquarium safe. I have a strong feeling that this stuff is just silicon though....Yea it is, can't mistake that smell.

Anyway, I made a run to the store and forgot to hit post, I tossed together a DIY sump for about 15 bucks, I might just return the epoxys and order some weld-on from the net to fix the acrylic POS.

Which weld-on is best for the type of damage I have here?
 
Wholly cow that thing looks like it fell down a flight of stairs. You can usually shore this type of damage from the inside with squares of acrylic. It looks like you will have to rebuild the baffles though.
