It was a clean break. I took it on a trip to Vancouver for a potential buyer and then we never managed to meet up. Guess with all my purchases it got a bit jostled about in the back of the vehicle.
I'm not sure which weldon I have. I remember getting the "good one" but beats me. I think its 16 maybe? Should be interesting. Me and crazy glue not so good together. I think I'm the only person in the world that has glued their lips together (got some on my teeth and tongue too, that was interesting  ).

Hi Christy
I have used Weldon and it was quite thick #? to fix a similar problem. I just put a good bead around the base and let it dry. I have watched Chin Lee use the liquid Weldon to make a second stage for CA reactor and it looked quite easy as well. Tom R

Weldon 16 is what you want, it's a thick gel and ideal for surfaces that aren't perfect but they still need to be flush and clean. If you can get the surface completely perfect you can use weldon 4 for a stronger seam. However 16 is available in a handy small tube. Any plastic supply store should sell it.

ok, so weldong 4 is what you want to use, but you need to be nice and flat all the way around. weldon 16 will fill small gaps but is not as strong as 4.
you want to get a pizza pan or something and put the weldon 3 or 4 in that. have some pins in there so when you place your top in the pan it is held off the bottom by the pins. (you only want the weldon to be about 1/16 of an inch above the bottom of the tube.) let it sit for about 30 seconds, then quickly put it back on the base and put a heavy book on top to hold it down. wait about 15 to 30 min and boom done.
