Bugger! I've had an argument with a raised garden bed and managed to break off my Lowrance tripleshot transducer right by the mounting bracket Does anyone know what these are made of or what glue i could use to try to stick it back together? Looking for a temporary repair until I can organise a replacement. Cheers. |

JB Weld is generally an effective epoxy. There are products such as 'knead it' that are like plasticine in consistency. Chop a bit off and knead it :) with your fingers - use gloves, that stuff sets very hard and is probably the best sort of product for that

Jb weld I think would be better than nead it. ------------- "Times up" |

Show us a pic of the damage. JB Weld is a good epoxy but the Knead It type stuff is really good for building up an extra layer or two

 I hope that works? Not the clearest pictures sorry. I'm thinking I could glue it back together with JB weld then maybe reinforce it with some knead it afterwards?

| My advice would be don't muck around with experiments, just go buy another . Then remember where your garden is ....most repairs are just failed waiting to happen |

've used Knead it to fix pot lids and knife handles - has handled heat and water well for a few years now. It sets pretty quickly but still allows time to "shape" it to the surrounds. ------------- You can never have enough fishing tackle |
