Paterson Super System 4 developing tank problem
I have one of these tanks where the red cap ring around the top of the tank body has come detached.
I have contacted Paterson to find out if there is a suitable adhesive to re-fit it. Their reply was that "these rings are sonic welded and cannot be glued". Not that I don't believe them but I am wondering if silicone bath caulk would do the job or failing that the liquid welding adhesive plumbers use for plastic piping. Bath caulk may remain flexible but the layer is so thin I don't think it will matter. Has anybody else had this problem and if so how did you solve it? Thanks for any help. Bill |

Bill,
I have several Patterson tanks and never had this problem. I did drop one once and a piece got knocked out of the red cap ring which made the tank leak. I super-glued it back but the repair didn't last long so it got trashed. I would try the plumber's adhesive idea. Neil.

Bill,
Plastics are about only thing silicon rubber caulk won''t stick. JON.

I have seen this happen several times in the past, but not to my tanks. In college I think some students just carried on using them lose, but that could be my memory playing tricks on me.

Two of my Paterson tanks have had this problem as well. And I glued them with UHU (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UHU), a common multi purpose glue. The tanks are still going strong.

You stand a much better chance of getting the parts to stick (what ever you use) if you first "key" the surface
Light emery cloth will do the job nicely Martin |

Not if you intend using an "instant" glue, it doesn't even have to be completely dry, just clean, since it's cured by moisture. However if you go the contact glue route (UHU) then it does have to be clean and dry.

Thanks for all the responses guys. Looks like UHU is a proven method and the way to go. As soon as I get back from holiday it will be done.
