acrylic gurus
I have a calcium reactor that had the base of the acrylic tube come off. How do I go about reattaching it? I have some weldon but was wondering if I need to lightly sand the tube before attaching or something??
Any suggestions would be great

Yikes, how did ya manage that?
 Was it a nice clean break all the way around, and what type of Weldon do you have ?

use a scraper or file and lightly scrape it smooth and to get any glue defects off. then you should be able to just re-glue it.

It was a clean break. I took it on a trip to Vancouver for a potential buyer and then we never managed to meet up. Guess with all my purchases it got a bit jostled about in the back of the vehicle.
I'm not sure which weldon I have. I remember getting the "good one" but beats me. I think its 16 maybe? Should be interesting. Me and crazy glue not so good together. I think I'm the only person in the world that has glued their lips together (got some on my teeth and tongue too, that was interesting  ).
