Hi Acrylic,
A couple of weeks ago, in reply to my question about whether a wall thickness of 1/8" is strong enough with 12" dia cast acrylic tube, you replied:

The tube itself is plenty strong, the determining factor is the strength, therefore quality of the bottom glue joint. 1/4" simply has twice the surface area on the ends as 1/8" allowing for ease in getting a stronger bond.

My question: would a groove routed in the base sized to fit the end of the tube be a viable means of strengthening the joint? If so, should I use normal solvent (#4 - fill the groove 1/3 with solvent then insert the tube) or would #40 be better?
Thanks
