TRENT Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I was thinking of making a frag tank out of a Piece of Lexan I have (bottom only). The piece is 3/4"x43"x46". I was thinking of cutting it down to 30"x46" and using it for the bottom. Now for my question. I would use the Lexan for the bottom and get some sides (Cast Acrylic) cut to fit 12" high. Can I bond regular Acrylic to Lexan and what compound would be best? Was hoping not to add bracing? Any suggestions appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRENT Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 I cant believe how clear you managed to get that piece' date=' looks good........Jon[/quote'] Good to see you here Jon. I had to soak it for two days in vinegar water to get the paper off. I want to make a frag tank out of it but not getting very far. Some say Polycarbonate and acrylic don't mix well. so I was hoping someone had some personal experience . Hint Hint! Would be a shame to cut this piece up. Here is how it looks wet.

impur Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 James at Envision would also be able to tell you. I'm thinking probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
