Default calcium reactor DIY question

I have some 4" aswell,but i think its 4 1/4" outside and 4" inside.
If yours is like this aswell you can use 4" pvc (cleanouts?) it is slightly smaller than the outside diam of the pvc,but the acrylic can be sanded down somewhat on the portion you wish to slip on.
I have built two reactors with no problems with this method.
Methylyne chloride is the stuff you want,provided your cuts are somewhat accurate.
If not,you may use weld on 16...it is the same thing but more a gel,to use to fill small gaps.

FWIW,on both reactors i have used regular weld on pvc glue,to use to glue acrylic to pvc.It will work but is not as fast to dry.
acrylic to acrylic i would stick with meythlyn chloride.

Hope she works for ya,Marc.
