Johnny,

I have it at my house with the applicator - You're welcome to use it for whatever you need.

See you tomorrow evening.

I dont mean to hijack but has anyone heard of Tenax 7R? I am also looking for Weldon ( in Suffolk ) and noone seems to have it but one hobby shop carries this stuff and said it does the same thing as Weldon.

Weldon brand does not come with any applicator.

I have the #16 and can probably sell you one of my applicator.

For thin liquid type weldon, applicator and are available in Canal Plastic. They do not have applicator for the thicken type.

Clean the sump and let dry completely,

Apply the very thin liquid type first Weldon #3 or #4 with needle applicator

Then add thicken #16 with sufficient amount so that it completely block the leaking area.

Let glue to cured for at least 24 hours before reuse. Strength of the solvent glue will continue to grow for many hours until it finally settled. So if the glue say it cures in 4 hours you should let it stay for like 24 hours. If the glue say 3 minutes, you let it stay for 2-4 hours for much stronger bond.

Study what caused the leak-if it's stress related due to bulging(due to water pressure) and other dimensional changes(like when you pull the sump at the middle top of the wall), you should consider strengthen the sump with acrylics braces.

Thanks for the advice. Is Weldon the only appropriate type? What about Tenax 7R or other stuff? Can't find Weldon locally and would rather buy locally then pay for shipping and wait a week.
