i read a post on fixing a 100 gal acrelic thnk i replied this - the bonding agent used on acerlic actuly melts the acerlic so it makes a chemical bond, and contains lots of monemer and ( asitone to acelarate thp prosess)
so silicone will not make a chemical bond .
so hear comes the crazy part deteregent is hsed to aberase acerlic .
with a stiff brisel brush scrube that corner only from top to bottom leaving a 1'' to 1/2''sratchy ser face on ethir side using a mix of powdered detergent (tide) and water after that you must rinse very well use warm water to desolve deiergent then rinse agin soap kills.
now you con use silicone to make a mechanal bond I am no expert at any thing but I have lot of interest and picked up lots of usefull knoledge along the way , also I have not tried this so i would get an second apenyon

would it work ? why?
will it not work? why not?
please only post if you give thought to the prosess and if you have any konwledg of acrleic bonding!:cool-1:

awl come some one can at least call me crazy?

Your Crazy
 
well at least some one heard me now try ansering the? maby oddball has some intelagent input ? he sugested using alcohal to clean area first that would also have a chemical reaction on acrlic right ?
 
I just wanted to call you crazy. :D

I just picked up my first acrylic tank not long ago so I am interested in the correct answer also. Hopefully somebody will chime in soon.

I think most people on here do not have the correct "decoder ring" to be able to tell what you are saying...
I got a headache just trying to read your posts!:headshake

any more point less opinions?

:banhim:

The number one point in bonding acrylic or glass is to get the bonding agent BETWEEN the items being bonded.
The silicone will not penetrate into the area the way weld-on would.
Even after roughing up the surface...the silicone is not going to give much of a mechanical bond.
The alcohol would be used to clean oils and contaminants from the surface so that there is nothing to inhibit bonding... it is pretty standard practice in all forms of bonding
 
well if you would just have posted something inteligent or at least sounded inteligent like that in stead of wineing like a littel girl aboult not having a "decoder ring" and you know you could figure ot what i was trying to say be for your lets poit at the retard and lagh post.well thin i would not have to explain my shortcommings and then put you in your place maby it is you who should be banded.:banhim:

or at least think of the qulaity of your post be for you click the submit reply button!
if you dont like it tuff you cant just ban folks becaus their not perfect spellers i know i am a smart a55 but only when people dont think it just makes it too easy to be one.:FIREdevil

and i dont agere with you you should not under estamate the power of a scab it holds your liquid in.

their was that so bad.:)
