    Default Orca Glue Experience? Cure time??

    Hey guys, I'm getting my new tank tomorrow and i'm going to need to glue a couple pieces of acrylic to the base of the tank and the seller has a tube of Orca Glue he's giving me with the tank.

    Does anyone know how long the cure time is for this stuff... i know it will be listed on the tube somewhere but i'm just trying to plan the build up and unfortunately patience is not one of my strong suits

    Obviously I don't want to chance harming my fish, but I also want to try and get this tank transfer done asap. I'm hoping that when i get home with the new tank, I can install the acrylic dividers, then tear down my 77 gallon and by the time I'm done that i could start filling the new tank. What are the chances i'd get away with that?

    You can use this to fix leaks inside the aquarium even when its full of water. So I assume its fish safe. I tried to fix a leak in my 160 gal when it sprung a leak with this but it didnt work very well. Also i found it to be black in colour and messy to work with. JMHO.

    black and messy I can deal with, it will be on the base of the aquarium under the sand/substrate. It just has to have enough adhesion to hold the acyrlic barriers in place
