Plexiglass basking area

zzzdanz Jun 29, 2008 10:49 AM

Hi all, I just got 4 sheets of 4ftx8ft 1/2inch thick plexi and think I'm gonna go out in the garage and perform surgery.A.K.A. attemp to make a basking area for the top of 1 of my 55 gal.Question is was to use to secure it all together? drill it and screws, silicone, or maybe they sell a special glue for plexi (I have no idea). Was thinking maybe PVC glue but kinda worried it might be toxic, though it's used on house hold pipes.Any ideas anyone?, Thanx, Dan

I would just use silicon. Make sure the area is completely dry and I would give it 24 hours to cure.
