      Acrylic tank repair

      My large office tank sprung a small leak at the external overflow box and I am looking for someone who is experienced in repairing something like this. I tried PVC glue and silicon with no success. Any leads will be greatly appreciated.

      PVC glue didn’t work? That’s weird. Make sure to clean out and dry out the area before applying pvc glue.

      There is a special glue to use, pvc glue won’t bond acrylic.

      Can you get the leak area dry? If you can, it could be an easy fix with just a little drop of solvent into the crack. Convoy shop? I can swing by in the morning and will be glad to help, SDFree. I work near by, flexible hours, lmk

      I repaired an external overflow box before. I emptied out the water, cleaned and dried out overflow box with paper towels, then used a blow drier to make sure the seams were dry
