Sealant for split plastic

Post by floydmeddler » Sat Oct 02, 2021 10:29 am

Hi guys,

So fecking annoyed! I was working on my HLT build today and when punching a hole in my polypropylene bucket, I made a small split. The element washer will cover most of it, but there's a 1cm split beyond that. Can someone please point me towards a foodgrade, waterproof sealant that will withstand temps of up to 90c?

Many thanks in advance,

Floyd

My go to would be sugru, but check temps. Not used it like that.

I have successfully plastic welded buckets but you need matching plastic to use as filler and its a proper fiddly PITA .
