Just dropped my skimmer cup.
Dropped it and cracked it, now it leaks.
What would be the best way to repair it and fast? Thanks for any input. |

do you have any photos of the crack? i would look for some weldon and use that instead. weldon is what they use to chemically bond acrylic together. sometimes you can find it at your local glass or acrylic shops.

NO pics yet. but the crack is not bad and right a the bottom, a constant drip, drip. At that spot the peices do not move.

some weldon 3 or 4 should work. Just let it wick into the crack. Otherwise, superglue gel would probably work fine.
