  • Siliconing Acrylic?

    I've got a 20g cube tank that is made of acrylic and the sides are coming apart from eachother. Is it possible to sand the edges and silicone the walls together?

    Thanks! :)

    doubt it will hold. acrylic uses a chemical bond to bond.

      it is a small tank, i think it would hold just fine. maybe fill it up outside and let it sit for a few days just to be sure.

        I've had good luck with the new gorilla super glue. It's flexible kind of like a firm silicone. Only hit the seams though. It will cloud your acrylic. I would not use silicone.

            'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
            He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'
