WTB: Weldon glue

Corals Mania · 01-22-2008, 08:14 AM

Want to buy weldon glue, the one that comes with the applicator. Does anyone know where I can buy it around the Bronx area?

I know you can get it at most plastic stores. There is one downtown and I know acme plastic here in totowa nj; or on-line ordering. The stuff is cheap and light so it might be cheaper then driving to get it.

Johnny, Bruckner hobbies by my store has it. They are on East Tremont & Lafayette...

Actually I will be walking by them in a little, I will check on it.

Forget it, thet don't have it. They said they get it from a place called Freeman art supplies in White Plains when they need to...

In my experience the only places that carry it are businesses that deal in acrylic & plexi..look in the phone book under 'plastics' for someone local to you.

I have an unused bottle in my garage. I bought it from a shop near the New Rochelle metro north train station called Plastic something, don't remember exactly. It doesn't have an applicator though but I can get you some needles and syringes. Is it the liquid kind of weldon you want?

I been looking for weld-on 40 and 16 here in Nassau County w/o any luck. Try http://www.lifereef.com/frame.html and scroll down to "Acrylics, Plastic Grid, Acrylic Tubing, Acrylic Cement" located on the left side.

Make sure it does not have a rubber plunger part, Weldon will eat that up quick.

Johnny, get some paste\gel weldon too, much easier to use for repairs.

Acme Plastics in Westbury carries # 16 and #3, not sure about #4 (diff between 3 and 4 is drying time).
570 Union Blvd (just off Post Rd north of Old Country Rd) 876-4880

Thanks for the information Kathy C. As per Lifereef, Weld-on 40 is a two part cement best for gluing acrylic tubing to acrylic flat sheet and weld-on 16 is best for gluing PVC to acrylic.
