    Forsure on the pics it will take me forever i have two kids so its hard to get time but i like taking my time. I figure if im going to use the acrylic even if its doesnt have to be water tight i should act like it is for practice. OK cool where is the best place to find IPS Weld On

    Solvent welded seams can be seperated with practice using products like weldon 3/4 however 9 out of 10 times the joint that was there will not be visually apealing.if you just need to dismantle something u can "unweld" it but its a biotch genereally faster and easier to use a saw or dremmel

    Have any of yall tried making cylinders or bending acrylic then welding it together? Can you use a tourch and something to make the shape you want then use the weld and zip tie it?
