NEW Acrylic tank build
- Thread starter uarujoey

Pin method is for very thick acrylic in my opinion. Anything over 12mm, i'd use pins.
The way the pin method works is simple. The pins allow the cement to get all the way to the other side of the acrylic, then you remove the pins, and the acrylic rests on each other. The cement doesnt fill that gap though, the pins simply just allow the cement to get threw.
For 12mm or thinner, pins are not needed.
This is looking to be a much simpler prospect than I would have thought it would be. I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of this build. 
Maybe that's what I'll do for my next tank when I'm ready to move on from this glass project I got myself into.

uaru joey , u dont have a very strong accent are u a us'er or uk'er??? i do most my stuff is glass cut i thought it was cheaper but like the look of the acrylic tanks
You've got the same accent my colleagues in Wisconsin have. The border is relatively blurred up north in regard to the accent I think.

That's generally the case every where. Call around, I'm sure you could find something at a good price. My dealer is actually about 100kms away from me.
Can't wait to watch it! It doesn't work here at work, but I'll definitely check it out when I get home tonight!
