sorry mate just checked price again:o the one ive found was £15pound

too £8 was for a 50ml but you will still need a special gun because its a

two part adheisive it pushes both tubes at the same time to give a

perfect mix ratio lawson hs

[jamieb]

damn it, i thought it came with the gun.
you would think they would list it near the glue thought, i'll have a look now.
cheers for the info mate

phew not kiddin:eek:

ive made 1 before by doctoring a mastic gun can be done with a few bolts and washers

[MR Teee]

I was thinking the same TBH

When I have built reactors from acrylic, i have used a plastic weld type solvent (pretty watery stuff) and if i dont get a water tight seal, I go round the joint with a cyanoacrylate gel (superglue but cheaper, again from model shops) and that seals it up, a bit like siliconing up a bath, but neater.

Its been going strong since october, so it seems strong enough.

The yanks use stuff called weld-on in different grades of viscosity, but I can't find a supplier of it in the UK.

found weld on myself mate only in america tho i think its classed as a hazardouse material so problems shipping

[jamieb]

is it possible to use the cartridge without a gun?
i.e is it like silicon etc so you could just pust the bottom, maybe not ideal but beats £66 on the gun!!!

[lee1]

a bit fiddely i would of thought for long fine edges but for blobs ok:)

[jamieb]

think i'll give it a go, dont need to do any fine edges so it should be ok.
cheers mate
