the IPS website has a spreadsheet for cross linking plastics,they say to use weld on 16,40,or 42 for pvc to acrylic bonding.i like to use WO 40 for pvc to acrylic.

does WO #40 fill gaps well? i've been looking for some #16 to connect an inverted floor drain to a segment of PVC pipe (in a RandyStacyE type skimmer). the fit is loose and there will be some gaps that need to be filled. I've been having trouble finding #16.
