I want to make a media rack out of some acrylic I have lying around. I know Weld-On is the best for glueing acrylic. Where can I find this stuff in calgary?

Industrial Paints and Plastics, located in Builders Park (just a little bit north and east of Chinook Centre).

The last time I checked Industrial just had the #16. Should work ok for shelves.
Laird plastics used to have #3, 4 and 16 if you want a bit more choice.

I get mine at Sabic Polymershapes (formerly GE Polymershapes which was Cadillac Plastic before that). They have EVERYTHING plastic. They're right up by the airport (their parking lot backs onto the Field Aviation Hangars)

Just went to "Sabic Polymershapes (formerly GE Polymershapes which was Cadillac Plastic before that)" and they would not sell it to me because they have a minimum order price of 20 bucks and the tube is only 8 or something like that.....oh well search goes on!

Oh wait I've said that already.

They might not have "Weldon" brand #3 or #4 (I thought they did but oh well maybe not anymore) but if it's the runny stuff you're after (you need an applicator bottle with a needle) they should have some generic Methyl chloride. I always just use the #16, it's the consistency of model glue so easier to work with - I find the runny stuff (#3 or #4) you need a practised hand (and cleaner edges) to do a nice job. It will make a cleaner seam if you do it right - but spill any at your own peril sort of thing (ie., will put a melt/burn mark in the acrylic).
