Well I've been really busy with work 65+hrs a week. Not to mention the fact that apparently no brick and mortar ANYWHERE in the area carries acrylic weld(weld-on or anything). SO I took a trip to the glue isle of the local homedepot and mendards(just like homedepot). I found Plastic epoxy stated acrylic right on the package. BULLSHIT. I glued that damn thing together and two days later I go to pick it up and the f'n thing just FELL APART. I tried several other methods. I used paintstripper that has the ingredient that is usually the main ingrident in acrylic weld. it didn't work so well..it did work..kinda. not good enough. I tried pvc cement..actually worked a little better..but still no go for water. Then I remembered I had used super glue. Now super glue is probably the only glue that actually forms a really nice solid bond to acrylic. The job doesn't need to be all that pretty..I don't feel like ordering weldon and waiting. So I picked up a couple tubes of this:

This stuff is fantastic for glueing acrylic! Its not brittle like standard super glue..which is superglues major downfall. So I prepped each joint with alcohol and started to glue. Thus far its water tight and is bonded very well. I'm not finished. But here are some prelim pictures

The Glue holding the sockets in is still the "plastic/acrylic" epoxy...so its godda be redone. seriously after I took that picture. I grabbed the 12x12 pieces by one of the sockets and even gently picking it up the socket just came clean off.
