Want to glue baffles in my acrylic sump. Where can I buy Weldon #4? Online? Is this a good solvent to use?

Thanks,
Wendy

Yup, Altec.

Just check the dates on the cans. WO has a shelf life. I just happened to be in there on Monday picking up a can of WO#4. I found dates that ranged from june 09 back to sometime in 07.

thanks all. I can't seem to find an address for Altec Plastics on their website. Anyone know of the address and how to get their by public transportation?

Thanks!

Altec Plastics Inc acrylic stock, scraps, glue and applicators, etc
116 B St Boston,MA 02127

It's easy to miss. Just a plain door on a old building, open the door, go up the stairs, ask for the showroom/scraps.

Solvent=weld on?
Never worked with acrylic but reading up on it!
Might have to take a trip to Altec just for some scraps to play with.

Yup, Weldon #3 or #4 is solvent. WO #16 is basically solvent with some plastic melted in so it's closer to a glue. #16 is good for repairs or really rough work, otherwise you want the #3 or #4. Also don't forget to get an applicator bottle.
