Maybe a splint in the broken area?<br />Another benefit of retirement is the time to use machine tools/wood working tools/welder to<br />make an insanely complicated repair to something that should just have been thrown away.<br />Perfect example is using the metal lathe to make a tapered vacuum cleaner hose adapter.<br />Mad scientist laughing while completing the repair is of course, mandatory.John in Phillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196033252818387245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-79411691402431284182015-12-10T22:51:33.943-05:002015-12-10T22:51:33.943-05:00What glue?

I would use slow-cure epoxy, but it is expensive since you can't buy a little bit like you can the 5 minute stuff...<br /><br />Gorilla Glue - or any other water-activated polyurethane - though the repair will be very visible.<br /><br />Clamping? makes a difference.

Had a friend weld it up for me. Functionally OK, but a bit out of line and sat cattywompus with a list to port.<br /><br />Weld gave way recently so have pulled in a substitute and am having number one son do a reweld for me, hopefully on the straight and narrow.<br /><br />There should be some kind of National Award for faithful seating service.<br /><br />RazCountglockulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439720948349353264noreply@blogger.com
