zmalexander January 11, 2007 Share January 11, 2007 So I'm getting ready to modify a 20g with some acrylic baffles, and was looking for something to bind glass and acrylic when I came across Bostik Titan Bond Plus on a website. So, I searched on the web and found Bostik in Australia, but it looks like they only sell to businesses, no direct sales at this time (looks like it may be in the works though). Has anyone ever seen this stuff anywhere??? Zac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROLL January 11, 2007 Share January 11, 2007 I've seen them on on-line store last spring but I don't remember what link... Do search and maybe you'll find it. I think it's $8 per tube or something, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmalexander January 15, 2007 Author Share January 15, 2007 What about a group order on this stuff if it's decent, still I see most people using a ton of silicon I'd love to do a group order, I think this stuff would be really handy for most of us. Problem is, I can't even figure out where to do a group order from. Unless we want to actually try and do a direct order from Bostik? Zac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 Seems like an appropriate solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROLL January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 Maybe contact the company in Australia. Try on RC, I recall someone did bought a few from an on-line store in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, no results from searching RC. I'll see if I can contact the company in Australia. Who is interested in purchasing a tube or two? Just trying to get an idea on numbers.... maybe I can get a bulk price if we get to 10 or so.. Zac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak January 21, 2007 Share January 21, 2007 Will it also work fot bonding acrylic to acrylic? If so I'm in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmalexander January 22, 2007 Author Share January 22, 2007 Will it also work fot bonding acrylic to acrylic? If so I'm in Yes it will, though I'm not sure how the strength of the bond compares with Weldon Zac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROLL January 22, 2007 Share January 22, 2007 It's an epoxy and only will glue not meld together like weldon. So, better going with weldon for acrylic to acrylic and form real good seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmalexander January 24, 2007 Author Share January 24, 2007 OK, this is really funny.... So I contacted Bostik in Australia, telling them I was in the United States looking for Titan Bond Plus. The kind clerk actually redirects me to a company in California called Mr. Sticky where they actually buy Titan Bond Plus and rename it. She kindly gives me the contact information and asks me to call Art Queen. So, I call Mr. Sticky's in CA and ask for Art Queen, and he says "ah yes, Titan Bond Plus, we sell it here in the US as Mr. Sticky's Underwater Glue." "Can I buy some from you?" I ask. He proceeds to direct me to their online website to locate a vendor, and also asks me what I'm using it for. I tell him I'm putting in some acrylic dividers into an aquarium, which he says will work great with the Underwater Glue. So I log onto their website to check out their vendors. And the first one on the list??? Drs Foster and Smith which I find hilarious being that I called all over the world, just to finally be redirected to a site I have already purchased from.... Anyway, the above link will get you to Mr Sticky's Underwater Glue at Drs F&S, sold for $7.49 a tube. He did give me a couple pointers when using it. 1. Leave a small gap, just like you would when binding acrylic to acrylic with Weldon 2. If using it in water with live fish (Art did say this was safe and has been tested) do not let any of the binder (the yellow part of the mixture) into the aquarium free by itself. You should premix it in a cup, then you can use a second syringe to take up the mixture FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE MIX. Art said the free yellow binder will migrate to the edges of the mix. If you have any questions feel free to call Art Queen at Mr. Sticky at 1-916-961-7378. He was actually VERY helpful, and very interested in our uses! Good luck!
