<VV> White vacuum carb thingy

[rt66vairs at aol.com]

I repaired one this way a loooooong time ago and it lasted for years...
 
I guess that's only because it didn't know it couldn't work.
 
I would try Epoxy also.
 
I used both to repair plastic pneumatic building controls that there was no budget or part on hand to replace.
 
Worked just about everytime and on some that appeared to be hopeless.
 
But then I've only had 35 years of experience doing this...
 
I could be wrong.

JB Weld has an acid etch for metal bonding and isn't made for plastics at all. A craft glue would be a better choice.
