Anyone have any WeldOn locally?

[kaylo]

I am trying to do a repair on my overflow box. I cannot seem to find any WeldOn locally to cement the plexi together. Anyone have any information to where I could get some around the Hartford area or have any that I could possibly use if I give them a little cash?
I don't need much as the hole I am trying to cap is only about 1 1/4". I found some online, but the shipping is double the cost of the product and I am trying to not spend all that for what I need to do.

Thanks for any help.

you can get it shipped for like $16 on ebay. From what i understand jb weld ($7) which is sold at lowes and weld-on are pretty much same thing i campared labels and have used both and seem to both preform the same as well.

Hi buddy, i have some weldon 3 if you'd like some but you will need a glass container to carry it. If it is a big hole i hope you have acrylic to patch it? Let me know if you still need some i am in east hartford.

I do have a piece of acrylic to patch the hole. It's a hole in the overflow that someone down the line of tank ownership drilled im guessing as a closed return or something. I see no other reason to have the hole where it is near the bottom of the overflow. Anyways, it was plugged with a basic sink type bulkhead and when I fresh water ran the tank, I noticed the plug leaking. I cut it out and have a patch piece of fogged black plexi to put over it and weld it shut. I was thinking of even siliconing the inside of the overflow just to make sure.

PurpleMonster. I will definatly take you up on that. I will PM you to make arrangements. Thanks. =)

there is an acrylic store in downtown manhattan that I want to go to in the next week or so. If you want your own I can pick some extra up, but would still have to get it to you somehow.

Thanks borderjo, but PurpleMonster is hooking me up and I don't think I will need anymore down the road. I am just looking to plug this hole.

modern plastics in springfield an bridgeport carry it.

unfortunately modern plastics closed their retail store - at least in bport. I used to go there a lot - it was a great place.
