Any way to fix this?

[Jake_the_reefer]

So i had a used eshops overflow mailed to me and it came broken into 2 pieces. Is there anything I can use to fix this? Tips?

Is it a hob overflow?

Yes. I was planning on going the route of hob overflow with aqualifter modification to ensure it starts up properly

I run a hob as well never had a problem with it only using the utube. Is the unit completely in half?

The part that holds it onto the tank is broken off it holds water just can hook on the tank

Gel super glue

Gel super glue

You could try that I would be worried that over time it could break and then you run into a problem.

Are there glues that work better than super glue? Like something that bonds acrylic in particular

 

[NashobaTek]

Look for a acrylic epoxy is what I would do.

See if you have a acrylic shop in your town. Take it in and see if they can glue it.

The bright side is that it broke in a very jagged way so it will have more surface area to bond.

You want to use Weld-on 16 or something like it for acrylic. I would not trust it without adding some reinforcing to the joint. Just bond sone extra acrylic over the break. A local plastic or sign shop should have the Weld-on and scrap acrylic. If your in OC Ca, I have some of both. It should take 5 min to fix it.

+1 on this. If you aren’t able to return it to get a replacement then this is the way to go.

I would never trust that after gluing it, even with the correct acrylic adhesive. Super Glue (CA) or epoxy is a non starter as they don't bond acrylic.

Definitely return it.

Marine epoxy, weldon

Weldon4. It's thinner than 16 and will flow between the two pieces. This is what I've used to fix cracks. 16 is good for bonding an overlap piece to the joint.

Yes you can easily fix that with acrylic solvent. I would get the thick kind. It is made of acrylic solvent with some melted acrylic in it, the same stuff that thing is made out of.
All acrylic parts are made with that stuff even acrylic tanks.

It melts the pieces together

It was from another reefer not a buisiness
