The water like Weldon is Weldon 4.

I tried it on a seam once that was leaking without much luck, might have more luck on a crack.

thought I had a old lid but must be buried deep. Came across this blank ~5.25" diameter, would it work for you?

leave the lexan out of this :mrgreen: while it is good for sigting in 22s it scratches very easy compared to acrylic, and it is very pourous and has an inharently high moisture content which makes it a pain in the A55 to glue. it can be done, just a lot harder than regular acrylic.

All you need to do is go to industreal plastics and paints and get Weldon 3 not 4. run a dribble along the gracks with a needle tip aplicator wait about 5 min, turn over and run the other side. don't use to much, just enough to wet the crack.

Weld on 4 is weldon 3 with a bit of acrylic desolved in it to make it a tinly less wattery and better for getting bubble free joints.

Maybe 10 minutes total to setup my machine and cut it (cnc router). I have some 1/4" scraps that would do the trick.

I agree to use methylene chloride for this repair, but I wouldn't agree it's better than new.. its been damaged :razz::razz:

Oh, can I be your friend when I move to Kamloops, a CNC :mrgreen:

Seriously though what kind do you have? I have been thinking of making one once I have some time.

I have a CNC too. But no Acrylic scraps :(

It's a new Canadian built 24x36" cnc router from General / Gorilla CNC. General machinery is known for it's famous green color :). It's at work, but we're a retail tool store and I have to do demos, and seem to have gcode ready :lol: We're soon getting a newer version of the machine with some upgrades. Learning gcode, vector design, and tool paths has been fun.

But, if you're a serious tinkerer having a cnc machine would be golden. I'm trying to work a deal where I can take the machine home from time to time (the store owns it). There is some pretty amazing DIY plans on cnczone.com, and having one machine makes it very easy to build another machine. :rofl2:

Nice new piece, got to try out a new router bit too. 1/8" onsrud o-flute upcut spiral :mrgreen: high feed rates

It seems the old piece was cracked from the pipe pressing down on the top of the flange. After looking at the old piece, its actually bowed downwards like a bowl where the crack is.

Expect it in the mail soon :Banane17:
