![]() I had a hair line crack on my nexreef media reactor, and I tried to silicone it but, it's not holding.
it let out a few drop every now and then. but, I don't have space in the sump for it either. so, my question is how do I fix that?? reglue it with acrylic glue?? any input will be greatly appreciated. thanks Peter

![]() Weld on 6 works great for that i fixed many cracks in reactors with it. Nasty stuff do not get it on your self or anything valuable to you, will eat cement

![]() I get the glue from the plastic shop here. Not sure what it's called the tube doesn't say anything on it. It's the same stuff they use to do acrylic works.

![]() Weld On 3 also works very well. Has the consistency of water so will get into a hairline crack

![]() weld on 16 is too thick, it will not wick into the crack. You could however layer it on, not going to be pretty though. weld on 3 or 4 would be better.
