Seriously, I think much of it wasn't intended to be negative (I admit to
having missed at least half the thread, though)

There were many great replies, both for experiences with adhesives as well
as sources of info for bulkhead fittings.

but was more in the sense
of not realizing that what was obvious to many responders wasn't obvious
to
you. I know when I initially responded about glues, I was completely
unaware you were trying to put a fitting through the Rubbermaid and
thought
you were trying to fix a hole.

It would be a wonderful thing if anybody _does_ know of any build-your-own
filter sites with real part numbers if they'd post links.

Again, there were several great sites posted, both with DIY info, and
commercial parts ordering sites, but both you and Garee apparently missed
all of them.

Even when the
original builder is in a different country, if you have actual part
numbers
you can find out exactly what they are on the web, then you can find local
suppliers that sell similar items. It eliminates a lot of guess work.

Yes, and from the replies, I never got any confirmation abotu any adhesive
really working on rubbermaid containers

No, I did see them, and visited them,.. and they were posted about 2 weeks
after the original thread was started.

And, valuable information to pass along in the future. Nothing easily
available will bond most Rubbermaid plastics. Specifically to the wheels on
their lawn carts, Only 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Plastic Adhesive DP-8005
will do, and it's not available to the consumer.

So, you're back to bulkhead fittings and you should have enough info to
build your own from parts at Lowes, order any of the choices online, from
say the store in jan's link, or discover that the wax ring experiment works
or doesn't work.

There was no indication of that from your posts, and Derek kept saying
that no links were being posted, when they were. The failed adhesives
discussion delayed getting to the heart of your problem. Good luck,
anyway....

No, I didn't say anything like that. Garee pointed out that he hasn't seen
any websites that list part numbers for building a filter. I said I've
seen some, but I have no current links, and would really like to find such
links. Nothing in this thread has changed that.

Acgtually, no. I just went back through the whole thread. There were lots
of good references, once it was stated that he needed a bulkhead fitting,
for where to find bulkhead fittings, but I still don't see anything like a
web site detailing parts required for a home built filter. It would still
be nice to have.

So what could I add to mine to cover that?
