    You want to use this...

    first...with the capillary applicator. You use this to get in between the sheets while they are clamped.

    The heavier stuff should be used for ...well.. heavier applications

    I've also read on Melvesreef.com that the weldon 16 stuff is toxic... can someone confirm this?

    Oh yeah...no doubt that you want to use this stuff in a well ventilated area.. It doesn't matter if it is #6 or #16...pretty much "liver cancer in a can". Just use common sense...most, if not all products like this can cause harm if not respected.

    Naw... it doesn't really "glue" the acrylic as much as it melts it and welds it together... once it's cured...yer good to go.. just don't go drinking or inhaling it

    my sump is only 12 inches tall and i was thinking of rasing it to 16 inches by butting them up and then i was going to cap the seams on the outer side side of the sump with 2 inches sheet 1 inch worth on each side of th seam for strainth(sp) just incase of power loss and the rise of water .....what do you think?
