    TAPP plastics online or look in the yellow pages for a plastics company local to you.

    You want Methyl Chloride, weld-on or similar.

    It's not something you'd find at a hardware store, too toxic.

    Check out melevsreef.com He mentions what type of cement to use in whatever situation you might encounter. Lots of good info on that site. I'm sure he also mentions where to get it from...

    For acrylics, you want Weld-On #3 or #4 for joining solid long edges. You can also use #16, which is thicker, like syrup, for joining not so perfect edges. It won't creat a bond as strong as #3 or #4, but it works well for repair work and seam reinforcement.

    For mentioning 16, it was a lifesaver in one case for me.
