Hi all,

looks like this has dropped down a bit now, but I'ved been reading your site melev, top stuff by the way!

I'm building myself some fluidised sand bed filters out of (probable) 8" acrylic tubing and then the rest of sheet acrylic, 6/8mm.

The only problem is the glue. I can't find Weld-on #4 on any UK site but have found Tensol 40 which is used for glueing acrylic but not sure if it's the equivilant to the Weld-On #4.

Thanks in advance.
