[oceanviper]

Hi guys....

Anyone who can recommend some type of epoxy or glue which i can use to glue back my impeller?

Now that the magnet has came off, so no more spinning.....

The glue need to able to witstand force and temperature.....

You'll need to find something in the lines of weld-on, I have a couple different types but there for Acrylic only.

Here's the link.

what brand is the brand? try asking if there replacement for it rather than gluing it back. if ur pump is powerful kind, dun think glue can tahan it for long

[garyjg]

[V]tEc maybe right, might just be easier to replace the impeller rather than wastering time trying to glue it back together.

The pump is Hydor.....

I find it no point getting the replacement when the impeller is almost 1/2 the price of the new units.....

for ceramic shaft it can't be stick back by super glue...

and u need to get a right position thatit's inline with the end to end point ( or else it'll break again once on the pump)

if u really want to stick it back u can drop by my place this weekend when i'm home i'll use a 2ton epoxy mix and fix it

however it need bout 8hrs cure to have such holding power

Hi Steven.

Thanks for the tips and offer....

In fact i'm actually stick back the plastic fan that spins when the magnet move.

Due to the fan loose, is not spinning while the magnet is already spinning.....if you get what i mean.....

Anyway I'll try to use the 2Ton epoxy.....

Concern would be any chemical effects to the corals and LS...?

for sure it won't i'm using it as well to bond some of the LR, as well as my wave maker to the magnet glass cleaner

so now i've a magnet holder for my resun wavemaker

I uses the same epoxy on some of my tank application as well... should be safe..... Cheers..

Araldite will do the job very well, but stick to the rule of Less Is Best, too much and the bond will not be that good.
