Trash or try to repair?

[SteveG_inDC]

Bought a used Avast kalk stirrer and maybe I dropped it but it cracked and the outlet just fell off. Should I try to repair with Weldon or is it hopeless?see pics

I say try it. Worst case is you loose the $ for the glue.

do you use it in a water-safe area where some water won't be an issue if your repair doesn't hold and you don't notice right away?
other options: that silly silicon stretchy leak-seal tape works pretty well, you could put it over the repair as added insurance, you could cut the vessel down below the crack and re-drill, then shorten the stirrer shaft, or you could see if avast will sell you a new vessel

As long as the outlet is adequately supported you should be able to make that work.

You can repair that! Try some weldon, the thick stuff dont remember the number off the top of my head.

Good ideas. I was running it externally. think I'll try a straight up repair first and have it sit in a bucket. If my past acrylic bonding handiwork is any indication, this will definitely look bad and probably not work, but as noted above, I have nothing to lose by trying.

I think I would break off that last section thats cracked, and then weldon the whole thing back together. It looks like it would likely hold if you do a good job supporting the glue while it dries. A safety bucket for the first few weeks wouldn't be a bad idea.

You might also see if you can piece it back together and use the thin Weldon and a syringe to sort of tack it then go from there

Will the ID allow a slip fitting? If so, that may be the best support structure while setting the glue cure.

That kalk stirrer is not under pressure so you should be able to fix it pretty easily and use it without worry.

Give it a shot before you drop cash on a new one. The only thing you would lose is the price of glue and a little time.
Then make sure you test it well.

I’ve repaired worse
This looks salvageable
