Epoxy as method to hold up PVC LR rack?

Rudy00 · 11/01/2006, 08:03 PM

Will this work? I am going to try to use aquascape epoxy to hold up spaflex type pvc within my tank as a LR rack-- the product claims to bond to anything and very strong once cured

i'm attaching the pvc to my over flow and then plan put t's and other fittings in it to have pieces of pipe intertwine and drop down to the glass bottom for more stability

any thoughts? The main thing thats bothering me is the strength of the epoxy as it will be one of the main joints holding the LR PVC structure up

I think it will be fine...but if you want to be sure - bond something and try to break it once it's cured to test the strength.
