My diy beckett skimmer

[Did you build or borrow that foam tower? Nevermind, you just answered that. Looks good man. Let me know how it goes. I'll be building mine completely from scratch soon.

Hey man, I love dinosaurs too...]

[Clean the surface well, even sanding the area that will be glued. I'd use Weld-On #4 and pins for 15 seconds, then remove them for a good seal.]

[Pins, is a method used to glue acrylic together. Basically you place straight pins between the two pieces being joined to create a uniform gap along the length of the joint. You then apply the Weldon along the gap and it weeps in to the void. You let it stand for, as Marc said, about 15 seconds for the Weldon to react with the acrylic, remove the pins and press the joint in place.]

[It is a sloppier and weaker solvent. If you use too much, it melts away too much material and leaves voids. It would be good to use around the base in a very thin bead after it was glued in place with #4. It should not be applied like caulk!]
