I have always struggled with this application method...This just solved my problem. Thank you for a great video.

[@TwinSummitDesigns]

You are welcome and glad that helped! I recently did a second video using a syringe which i find easier if you want to try that method as well as see what works best for you. ruclips.net/video/8KECEPwkKvk/видео.html

You are welcome! :)

[@blewprent]

Very helpful.

[@TwinSummitDesigns]

You are very welcome! Sorry for the late reply. Thought I already did. :)

[@aaronbono4688]

Thanks for the tips, is that really safe to get on your fingers though

[@TwinSummitDesigns]

You are welcome! I usually wear gloves when doing this outside just to be sure. Just much easier to video and see without gloves.

can i use weldon 100 UPVC Solvent instead of Weldon 3? I am from india and it is hard to get hold of weldon 3 here. Thanks

[@TwinSummitDesigns]

I am not familiar with Weldon 100 actually but t if it says it can be used for Acrylics then I can’t see why not. I actually prefer Weldon 4 which is also harder to find in Australia, but it does not leave white marks like Weldon 3 if you spill some by accident. Much less anyway.

Can you share the link to purchase these items on Amazon? Thank you

[@TwinSummitDesigns]

Hi Nancy! I have updated the description with some links for you. But here they are anyway. Applicator Bottles:
amzn.to/3QYM6PZ (I use the 25 Gauge Metal Needle)
Other similar applicator bottles:
amzn.to/45PpW6G
amzn.to/45rYP21

[@TwinSummitDesigns]

Any of these type will do fine I reckon. As long as you can get the air out of them first. The thin needles seem to help as well so it does not run out of the tip too fast. Hope that helps!

[@NancyBaabe]

@@TwinSummitDesigns Thank you so much!! 😁 much appreciated!!

[@mauricediggs8040]

Is it good for building fish tanks

[@TwinSummitDesigns]

I actually have seen videos of people building tanks with this, so I would imagine so. It chemically bonds the layers together, not just gluing it.

[@user-or1kv3no6e]

so you don't need to wear gloves when handling this ?

[@TwinSummitDesigns]

I was being a little naughty actually because it's easier to film. 🤫 But better safe than sorry, so yes, gloves would be a good idea and use in a well-ventilated area. It has quite a strong smell till it dries, which is really quick.

[@SamChaneyProductions]

You definitely should. It's classified category 4 acute toxicity. Please look at the safety data sheet for any solvents or chemicals you're working with

[@TwinSummitDesigns]

@@SamChaneyProductions I have actually linked to it in the description for reference.

[@designresearcher1745]

But how doe you pour it into the bottle in the first place?

[@designresearcher1745]

Sorry how do you pour it into the plastic bottle in the first place?
