I was going to use this chemical to weld plexi together. Has anyone used it before? Its not going to kill the fishies is it?

If you let it set it shouldn't be a problem.

Here is an MSDS http://msds.chem.ox.ac.uk/DI/dichloromethane.html

Try not to breath in to much of the fumes and you'll be alright. Let the acrylic cure for a few days and it will be safe for your fish etc. Dichloromethane is pretty volatile and will evaporate quickly.

I've used that a lot in the past and it works just as well as Weldon 3. I used to work in a Physics lab and we used it as a drying agent so i used to get as much as I wanted. Now, I find it a lot easier to get Weldon 3 !

Please share if you have a good source for DM.
