So the tool abusers have handed off another patient, a Wagner 91460s
(does that count as Porsche topic? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) )...anyway, I opened it up to find that the pressure switch housing has broken, thus not allowing the unit to shut off, and build too much pressure. I think that may have affected the prime valve, but that's not for certain.

Anyway, has anyone got a solid suggestion for an (unknown) plastic glue? The back of the adjustment stem does get captured in the rear housing, so I think that takes most of the stress.

I've got epoxy, model glue, JB Weld kicking around but I'd like to get a one and some thing going.

TIA,

Joe

Epoxy is not good for plastic. The model glue is good only for certain plastics.

What I recommend is the following:
1. Use some steel wire to secure the pieces if possible.
2. Use superglue (the instant glue that glues everything in 5sec) and baking soda. You build a support structure around what's broken to increase the contact surface. Put a bit of glue and then add some powder. Then remove the excess powder and add more glue and more powder unitl you're.satisfied. The result is a very hard polymer that you can file and paint if needed.
