other people have also had leaky Sankeys, anyone know how to fix them?

repaired a similar leak 8 years ago with 2 patches stuck on with araldite.
Still going strong, but then I know nowt about physics.


I welded a crack in a polyethylene one with a soldering iron: this was
successful in mending the crack.

However, the butt was several years old and the plastic might have been
losing its strength. Or the design might've been suboptimal: the base
had a three-inch wide rim on which the weight rested, and a recessed
centre which was supporting the water but not getting any support.
One night the bottom fell out of the butt and we had to replace it after
all.
