Acrylic to PVC
 

Laff it up....I'm diy'ing... :rolleyes: :lol:

I need to glue some PVC legs to a piece of acrylic. What do I use? :biggrin:

(no, it's not the new coffee table.......)...

GR 2 part epoxy should work. Kind of pricey ($25+) where I picked it up. Cures to a kind of yellowish color though. There is some in your bubble counter where the small acrylic tube is glued to the PVC JG fitting.

I know I should know what that is.... :redface: however...

Can you tell me where to go get it and what to look for... :mrgreen:

weldon 16 I believe is made for joining acrylic to dissimular plastics.

here is a rundown of a few Weldon products

"WELDON #3
Non-Flammable. Water-thin, very fast set, solvent type for acrylics. Will also bond other plastics such as styrene, butyrate and polycarbonate to
themselves.

WELDON # 16
Fast drying, high strength, bodied. Bonds acrylics to itself. Also for styrene, butyrate, polycarbonate and other plastics and porous surfaces.

WELDON # 10 (WHITE OR GREY IN COLOUR)
2-Part, high strength structural adhesive. High viscosity. Bonds PVC, acrylics, styrene, ABS, polycarbonates to steel, aluminium, etc.

WELDON # 40
A 2-Part reactive, high strength structural adhesive."

The guy at Industrial Plastics and Paints is fairly clever. They have both products on the shelf.

WELDON 16 :biggrin:

Yup, the 16 works! :mrgreen:

Jeez at first there I thought it said you were dying. Never would I think you too would switch to the dark side :razz:
