Hey Jeff,

	Here are some useful urls concerning plastic parts fabrication and
repair:

http://www.vaplastic.com/
http://www.tstar.com/

For a repairs using heavy duty fiberglass tape and resins, try these:
http://www.indumar.com/commques.htm
http://www.powerwrap.com/


Additionally, the following url using the word plastic as the search
phrase will turn up some possibly useful responses:

http://www.ge.com/oac/search.htm

Concerning what GE says in regards to using silicone to "glue" the
structural members of aquariums: look at the following url in the
section "Can I use silicone sealants underwater?"

http://www.ge.com/silicones/gs3.htm

Hope some of these urls turn up something you can use.

Herb
