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.

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.

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.

A lot of states requires a prescription to buy any syringe even
without a needle attrached. Best bet is but the correct applicator
where they sell the solvent at. Its like $2.00 for a syringe and 4
assorted blunt end needle tips or $3.00 for a squeeze bottle with the
same 4 assorted tips. However a lot of farmers feed and supply places
sell hypodermic syringes without a perscription. And be sure to drag
the syringe backwards during use do not push it forward as it will
cause the tip to clog. Apply slowly and allow to wick in the joint /
crack, and any that flows out of crack just let evaporate do not try
to wipe it off as a lot of times it will evaporate if the humidity is
not high and no marks are left. You will get a white spot where it
spills if humidity is up.
