Glueing Arcylic to PVC trick

For those DIYer's making skimmers, reactors etc and want to use a combo of PVC and acrylic materials I have found PVC/ABS transition cement will stongly glue the two materials together.

Only downside is the glue is a white color,

PVC/ABS transisiton glue is available at any hardware store such as Home Depot.

I found Weldon 16 doesn't dissolve the PVC very much.

I've used Weldon 16 lots to glue PVC to acrylic with no problems. [img]smile.gif[/img]
