You can try petersen bros. plastic.They are at 2929 N Pulaski and there number is 773-286-5666.Last time I was picking up some supplies they had weld-on 40.they said they dont really stock weld-on ,but they do have equivelant acrylic cements.They have cements that are like weld on 16,3 or 4.They also have a scrap pile of acrylic all around the front of the store for really cheap.Without the mistakes I personally made it cost me about $25 to build my dual chamber calcium reactor.That sure beats the $200 + price tag for commercial models.HTH

I have also bought from Peterson Bros as they are closest to me here in the City. (The closer two moved to far suburbs a few years ago). Jorge is right they don't normally sell WeldOn brand but mix their own. I was a little nervous buying their 'no-name' product when everyone said to use WeldOn, but it worked fine.

If you are in the suburbs, I think most acrylic suppliers will sell WeldOn, as do a few mail order acrylic suppliers (not U.S.Plastics, though).
