I was bonding the bottom of my acrylic tank (24"x12"x12") 1/4" size and one of the acupuncture needle tip broke inside the seam. There is no way for me to reach it with plyers to remove it...such a pain. There doesnt seem to be any air gaps at all surronding the tip of the needle, it's all glassy. Am I screwed? Will it have an impact in the long with the seam? What can I do?

If does not come all the way thru you should be ok. (exposed on both sides)To be on the safe side you could use a thickened batch of solvent and cover the inside of the seam over the needle, with an overlap of 1/2" on each side of the needle. It will rust if exposed to salt water over time.
If it comes all the way thru you will have to drill it out and fill the gap.
