What to use for holding acrylic together??

I'm needing to glue a skimmer box together from my overflow as it got broken
before getting put into my tank. Anyone know what is the best stuff to use?
I've tried several different glues without success.

TIA,
Susan

You need to use dedicated cement for acrylic available in plastics stores.
Use google.com to look up specific names and retailers in your area.

That was a big mistake. You should have found the
right thing before contaminating it with inferior stuff.

You could use methyl ethyl ketone, or acetone, but
the better would be "weld-on 3".

Do your best to remove the other junk that you put
on there before applying the correct application.

You can also use thicker weld-ons if you need it,
and you can also make your own thicker weld-on using
weld-on 3 and scrap acrylic.

what he is talking about, much like Wayne.........the know it all
wanna be but flunked out of the pet shob business due to his inept
ability and pityfull excuses he made up for his lack of knowledge.

yeppers, Pszemol uses Wayne's love juice to stick his parts together.
I can hear ****y Pants Pszemol licking and smacking his lips from
here...........

The reason that weld-on 3 works best, is because
it's a solvent. Any time that a plastic can be
bonded using a solvent, using the solvent is the
best way to go, instead of using a glue.

Weld-on 3 works good on a number of other plastics
as well. It's handy to have around.

Also, go to Wall-Mart pharmacy department, and get
the syringe with needle, reorder # 309574. There are
a number of different syringes, but I like this one
the best.
