Where can I get black acrylic?

[Tswifty]

I'm looking for a piece of black acrylic to cover the front of my calfo overflow. Does anyone know a place locally where I would be able to purchase this? If they can custom cut it, even better.

Also, any recommendations on what should I use to adhese it to the glass?

Thanks

T.J.

House of plastic in cleveland has black acrylic, but from everything I've heard acrylic won't stick to glass ............ http://www.hpmanufacturing.com/retail_store.html

Yeah I don't know. I know silicone doesn't bond it, but acts more like a wedge. It won't be bearing any type of load, so I think silicone may do the trick.

Oh and thanks for the link :thumbsup:

we used silicone on acrylic, which isn't supposed to adhere, no pressure and it stuck pretty good, it's actually kinda hard to pick off. you just have to make sure it is not wet at all and make sure it dries completely and it may do the trick

oh ya and make sure it's aquarium grade silicone, and your welcome for the link

Take some light sandpaper and scuff up the spot where your gonna put the silicone, it'll help it bite a little better.

TJ, you could also try Everhart glass (330) 456-2437 in Canton. They are only about 6 minutes from where you work. However, they may only be able to get you a full sheet.
