didnt know which would be better going to try my hand at building one instead of using a tank as i have in the past. Any good online places to get the bonding agent as it is not available local here at the glass shops

    I prefer using AcryLite FF or GP to build sumps. It's a good brand and works well with Weld-On #3, #4, and #16. If you can't get it locally, you can try USPlastics.com as well as NationalPlastics.com Another solvent that I've been told works well is "MEK" but I've never tried it. You will need needle applicator bottles as well.

    Contact a sign shop, not a glass shop in your area.

    Really?! I've got a couple gallons of MEK on hand, but can't get Weld-on without paying huge haz mat shipping.

    Yes, that's correct. Let me know how it works for you.

    Will do, I've got some 1/4" acrylic scraps down in the shop.

    yea just looked and is a 30.00 haz-mat fee pre can. Might have to take the 2 hour drive into pittsburg to get some stock. Wounder if that is charged at the dealers as well

    How much do you think id need for a 20h x 32l x 24w with intake skimmer and return section

    No, you won't have to pay a fee to pick it up. The Hazmat fee is a transportation fee. A pint can would be enough for your project, with two applicator bottles (one may clog up and you don't want to be stuck unable to finish the project). Use #3 and get a tiny tube of #16 for any needed patch work.
