    Default Re: Tab on skimmer weir broken

    I used J-B Weld to repair a plastic part on my Polaris, and it's been in use for several weeks now. Try to figure out a way to hold it in place while it sets though, it takes a long time before it stops running. You can safely let it sit on the mixing pad for at least 20 minutes before applying, but even then it reacts to gravity. Also - it's dark grey so you'll want to be tidy with it.

    EDIT - If it's white plastic it -may- be PVC which would be a lot easier to work with. Then you could use PVC cement from a hardware store and a small PVC angle from a plastics supplier.
