Our cheap #pressurewasher started leaking from the handle, while I was using it to clean a lawnmower.

Took the screws out of the handle cover, inspected, didn't see anything, reassembled. Leaks.

Got box of assorted O-rings, replaced one at wand supply connector. Leaks.

Took cover off, hooked wand up, ran motor, saw thin fan of water shoot out of hairline crack in plastic tube. Oh!

Dried it out.

Slopped mixed epoxy onto tube, then wound nylon string tight around, then more #epoxy .

Freezer draw update.

2 part Apoxie has been applied - detailed investigation of cracks showed that liquid Expoy wasn't gonna cut it and would be a major PITA to apply.

Now just gotta leave it alone for 3 days to fully cure and see how it does.

If it doesn't cure and hold fast, or does cure but then doesn't fare well under freezer temps, I'll have to just go buy the expensive replacement part.

Fingers crossed ! 🤞🏾😒

Thanks for your help everyone.

Freezer draw was dropped so now has massive crack down front & half way through the bottom

Finding a spare to buy is proving.. challenging

I have 2 part #Apoxie, can I use it to repair crack or is having cured apoxie in the freezer full time a bad idea?

(Please don't make me regret asking y'all for help)

I also have some liquid 2 part #Epoxy compound but don't think that will be strong enough for the bottom of the draw?

:sigh:
