I couldn't find any in the boonies where I live so I made my own. Take acrylic chips and cuttings and put them in a glass jar, cover the acrylic pieces with acetone let it sit overnight and you've got your cement. I built a 17 gal using this stuff and it's been holding for a month. You can make any thickness you want. Just change the amount of acetone you use in the jar. If it's too thin let the jar sit open for a while acetone is very volatile and will evaporate leaving a thickened product. Wal mart has the acetone in the painting section, it comes in 1l tin cans for about $9.
