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????  ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

| 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. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

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. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
