weld-on substitute?
 

I'm trying to build an acrylic skimmer and the one thing I'm having trouble getting locally is weld-on of any type. Now I know that Weld-on is methylene chloride but I'm wondering if anybody knows any other cements/glues that have methylene chloride in them. (some other brand name?) Is it possible that I'm missing it simply because I'm looking only for "weld-on"?

sometimes just called methylene chloride. Any acrylic shop will carry it

I made an acrylic tank a while back and there's a few places that carry weld-on. industrial plastics and paints in rochmond is the place I went to, but there was one in vancouver... can't recall the name.

I forgot that my profile still says "vancouver", I'm actually living in St. John's right now - not exactly a place with a lot of "acrylic shops", in fact I can't find one! Just wondering if it comes in different brand names...

Got a home depot?

yep, but they don't appear to carry weld-on... do they carry some other product that is similar that you know of?

dont take my word for it but i was at totem yesterday getting crazy glue. and beside it they had a LOC TIte Brand that would prob be excatlly what your looking for. it was in the glue silicon section.

yeah, we don't have totem either..... I've looked at every loc-tite glue I could find and none of them have methylene chloride. any other ideas?

how about this stuff?

I know it's a paint stripper but it does have methylene chloride. Do the other ingredients matter (the methanol and propane?)

Yes, they matter. HD, down here anyway, sells acrylic. The solvent is right beside it.
