What weld on should I use to glue a skimmer. It is going to be a beckett with a box. Weld on 4 for the box 16 for the tubes and flanges?

Thanks
Brian
 
It really depends on what plastic you are using. If you have all cast material (best) then you would can use #3 or 4. Those 2 are water thin and require very precise machinework. If you have some small gaps they just won't work, that is where #16 comes in, it is thick goo and will fill in the gaps. If you are using extruded, get some weldon #5, it is also water thin and requires precise joints. I use #3 to build entire skimmers all the time.
 
Thanks Big T. That helps a ton!! I will probably have more questions for you as this thing starts to take shape.

Thanks
