   Better than an engine block.

As you may have heard, we had quite a cold snap in NC recently, single digits and teens.  I forgot one little bit of maintenance, to empty the water out of a stoneware fountain we have on our deck.  Again, not as bad as an engine block, but I'm not sure my wife would feel the same way.  Since it is just a split or two and not crumbled I think it can be fixed, but I dont know what to use.  I was thinking 3M 5200, but not sure it would adhere.  Any other thoughts?  Pete????

	5200 ought to work. Most importantly, did you go the distance and pour anti freeze into the engine?

	I wouldn't use 5200 personally - if it is very tight break I would use super glue (cyanoacrylate). If it was a bit off I would use epoxy. 5200 might work just fine truthfully but generally gives up some adhesion to allow some flex vs an epoxy in this case you don't need the flex.

	Larry, I too like the epoxy idea. You can get one of the epoxy duplex syringes at the hardware store. It does all the mixing for you.
