Rubbermaid glue report: Forget Gorilla Glue

Rubbermaid glue report: Forget Gorilla Glue
Ok, here's what I learned today:
Just when you think you remember that toilet wax not being "too bad" to mess with, you use it again and hate the stuff.. LOL Sticky, and nasty. Good news, it worked flawlessly, from what I can tell. No leaks at all, and connects are solid. Might need to add a 4" elbow and line down from the outlet on top.. the accordion 4" drainage hose/pipe puts more weight on that top flange then I'd like. idf I do, I'll put a 90 degree elbow on it, and then run the 4" pvc down th efront, and then put another elbow on it to make it reach the pond better. Bad news, is the gorilla glue that looked liek it sealed the 3/4 inch pvc water inlet didn't.when the rubbermaid filled, it buldged, the gorilla glue let go, and had a big nasty leak there. that will have to attached differently. Might look into that aquarium glue that's been mentioned. I already have shoe goo and silicon sealer.. wonder if it's different from those? So I had partial success today. I think when building something liek this, it's be much better to find something with thicker plastic then a rubbermaid trash can,.. even the 50 gallon ones have thin walls for attaching fittings. -- Gareee (Gary Tabar Jr.) |
