Hey guys, I'm a bit in a pickle here.
I was dismantling my 8042 Universal pneumatic set when I went to pull off the
tube off the bottom inlet (The tube was pretty much glued in. It was a non-lego
tube), the whole thing snapped off!!
After dismantling the cyilendar, I am trying to fix it up. What I did was I
took a 1/8" drill bit and, turning it by hand, drilled a small hole. Then I
took a piece of flex system tubing, and now I'm trying to Epoxy it in. I left
it overnight, and I put a piece of tubing on it, and when I pulled the tube off,
the flex tube I glued on came with it!
And that's where I am now. I am retrying epoxying it back in. I am using
Lepage 5 min epoxy. any suggestions, or do I need to use a stronger glue?
Thanks for ANY suggestions,
Chris Pritchard

| (...) I don't think that flex system hose is the right thing to try. You might sacrifice a pneumatic T to replace the nipple. I've had good luck with that and epoxy. (...) Kevin (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)
