    Just a word of advice.........Call IPS 1-800-421-2677 they are the makers of Weld-on products. This stuff can be hard to find as I found out when I was shopping for it. I called them and asked them what was around my town (Minneapolis, Minnesota) they gave me 3 places around town that would actually stock the product. I was lucky as one of them was only 20 minutes from my house. Calling them is alot easier than trying to hunt for it by yourself.

    Yeah i see it is hard to find.I called home depot,lowes,truValue,3 different ace hardwares,2 glass company's,1plastic supplier,2pet stores and 1 privately owned department store.

    I was just giving a suggestion to try plumbing/heating and cooling company's by a retired heating guy,he said they should carry it and probably do.

    If not i will order it.I found it for 10.50 4oz including shipping.
    Thanx again

    Like I said call IPS and get a supply place around your area. It can be ordered online for $7.58 for 16 oz/pint, however its a Hazardous Material and shipping will kill you.

    I found it finally,a local glass company is going to give me some.He is going to fill my applicator bottle.It will be more than enough to glue it all together.
