Gluing acrylic to PVC

[Jim]

I'm making a new frag rack for my frag tank. My question is can you glue PVC to acrylic and if yes what's the best glue to use?

I'm assuming you want glue PVC feet. I'v read weld on 40 will work. Never tried it though.

Yes I want to glue on feet. I tried to find acrylic rod locally but no luck and didn't want to order online. Does Home Depot carry weldon 40?

Pretty sure they don't. You would probably have to order online.

You can get all kind of acrylic related products in the stores in Chinatown in the Canal/Church streets area. They have rods, as well as Weldon. If you are coming to the frag, they are probably opened on Sundays and are not too far from PACE.

Weld-ON 1802 works fine.

u can use 3/4 , 1" PVC ( or dif. size) pipe, then cut thread on cap, or rod (1/2 Acrilyc ) then use 1/4 -20 Nylon screws. This way , u can go up or down.
