                                •#16 – thickened cement – acrylic

                                •#58 – two part – polycarbonate –

                                •#45 – two part – virtually bonds to anything

                •Extreme-two part – virtually bonds to anything

•Welding

•When you need that special design or box that requires extra strength and durability.

•Weld-able products include Polyethylene, Polypropylene, ABS, PVC and Polycarbonate.

                •Welding is a process of bonding material to itself by the use of a welding rod and a hot air welding machine.
