Fix QT tank

[RicSG]

I dropped my QT acrylic 8 gal tank yesterday while cleaning. It is a mine crack in the corner which can be sealed which I do not know how to. What can i buy to fix it. Any idea will be appreciated. where can I buy the product locally. just needs to be sealed.

If it's acrylic it depends on the crack itself. Weldon 16 (I think, either that or 4) will work - you want the one that's liquid that will seep into the crack itself and melt the acrylic. That said, if it's a big crack that will spread you will need to consider drilling the ends of it to prevent spreading and then put a patch on it and weld that on, both sides is preferential.

Not on acrylic. Take the Weldon suggestion.
