Found a good IPS Weldon 3 and IPS Weldon 4 Replacement.
Yes, I must say, it was very nice to bond two pieces of plastic together and see the good bond we were always used to having.
What am I talking about.
IPS changed the mix in their methylene chloride. I’m not personally sure why. I was told it was because California law restricted their use of the trichlor they had been using.
Anyway, we had to search for a replacement to Weldon 3 and Weldon 4. We actually lost a lot of time and money over this–not to mention some mad customers. Don’t get me started on that. For this article, let me just say we only found out the formula was changed when it failed to perform as it had been.
So, for all you plastic fabricators, let me save you some time and effort. Mostly, just search for a supplier whose chemical manufacturing is not in California.
I’m not affiliated with them in any way, but Craftics Acrylic Cement methyl works for us like IPS Weldon used to. You’ll find them here.
You can thank me sometime when you get the chance.
Regards.
