I have always used silicon on plexi for sump repairs/baffles w/no failures. Definately let it cure for at least 24 hours before water test.
First time I've seen this thread and thumbs up on the build thus far. The dewalt radio is one of the best radios on the market. It doubles as a charger, which most companies do not.
The radio is by far the most important tool on any jobsite. Be it painting, landscaping, concrete whatever. The radio is #1.
Silicone on just baffles, or something that is holding water in? You can see in the picture I have the silicone spread almost over the entire patch.
That radio is my baby. I bought her used. Tested on site, she worked fine. Brought her home. She didn't work plugged into the wall. A quick fuse later, and she's back to normal.
You have to have tunes!! And sometimes my wife just won't let me turn the stereo up to 11.

personally for a chip i would see about roughing up the spot a bit by just lightly going over it with rough grit sand paper then i would lay a layer of silicone over the chip enough to completely fill the hole and then i would put a smaller piece of glass cut to cover the chip with an overhang of at least 2 inches on all sides and then make sure to silicone the edges of the glass patch
this may not look the most inpressive but a sure fire way to make sure of no leaks i have a 90g tank at home that dont look the best but is fixed in two places like this it holds rock solid and who notices that when a *****ing tank is set up
That is almost what I did. I didn't silicone the edges. I don't see a need. There is already over an inch of silicone the water would have to get past.
I did roughen up the edge on the sump side.

Flash. Haha. I've always been a do it yourselfer.. But I don't really care for doing roofs. The hard part was trying to get the 180 lb membrane on the roof with me and another scrawny guy. That was a feat.

GE/Momentive Performance Materials makes a Lexan/plastic 100% silicone that would work fine can be found at HomeDepot and other places. Silcone 1 should work as well.
I used GE Silicone Type I clear. I've read that it is fish safe.
