WC COMPACT Imperial HQA-017 cracked tank: glue options and replacement cost

Question

Hello. I have a question what glue this water tank - because I have a very nice crack and the warranty for this product has expired. Or does anyone know where and for how much (what price) will I get such a replacement? Is it WC COMPACT Imperial HQA-017. Please for help how to fix it!

WMichał · Answer

It is best to use some special glue for ceramics, although theoretically, cheap glues should be able to do it quickly.
Just remember that you will still see a seam mark, cracks, and the solution may not be permanent.

I propose a droplet, smear the inside with silicone. A cheap and fast solution.

WMichał · Answer

A solution with silicone may be good, but not very aesthetic in my opinion.

Hello. Once I glued the sink with colorless Poxipol, it even held.

Areecki · Answer

From what I know (because I have not assembled and have not assembled this set yet) the crack is on the "back" side, so it will not be visible.
It's all about tightness because despite the crack, the entire casting is quite stiff
and after mounting, no one will jump on it.
a drop, I do not know if it can do it - because the breakage is caused
the slight elasticity of this wall - that is, after a crack, the wall is slightly tilted.

But due to lack of time and resources, he can use it - a drop in a crack
and then colorless silicone from the inside (or from the outside too).

However, if someone else does something else, let me write.

Ptolek · Answer

If this wall cannot be pressed down (or possibly not, since it cracked due to stress), in my opinion the droplet (cyanopan) falls off, because it is a contact adhesive. Rather, this colorless Poxipol or some other resin-based adhesive that can have a thick grout.
If it could be pressed down, some glue for ceramics would probably handle it.

In my humble opinion, the best colorless silicone is the one commercially available for bonding aquariums.

J. Kleban · Answer

You will not seal it tightly because at the end of the crack there will be a scratch inside the material and water will be seeping through it.
Even though stress cracks do not change the fact that there are still stresses that will cause further cracking.

It remains for you to carefully tear off (split off) the cracked piece and then stick it together.

WMichał · Answer

The stresses that will arise during use can also be a problem. Then it will be revealed whether the glue worked.

submariner · Answer

do not glue it with any silicone because then no glue will catch and the silicone will not be strong enough. I think it is best to use epoxy resins with a PAC hardener (similar to resin and not to feel it with ammonia or socks

), such small packages - 2 tubes of almost the same size are probably produced by the dragon company - one of the cheaper ones.
The PAC cured epoxy resin is also minimally flexible and has very good adhesion to ceramics.

Anonymous · Answer

I also recommend Dragon. Inexpensive (about PLN 8) and after drying it is incredibly hard and durable. Let other (especially American) inventions hide with him.

I do not advise droplets. As far as I'm not mistaken, it's something like Cyanopan. This glue sets quickly and holds well, but after about a year from sticking, the joint breaks loose.

doxent · Answer

maybe denture adhesive would be a good solution here? possibly some 2 component on epoxy resin. It dries for a long time but also sticks tightly.

Areecki · Answer

Maybe a link on the Allegro / online store? I live in the countryside, so I would prefer to buy the preparation online - unless it is it is quite a commercial preparation.

piolove · Answer

Look for DRAGON or DISTAL epoxy adhesive. You can get them at any paint or building materials store. Both adhesives are two-component. Colors to choose from.

Anonymous · Answer

Unfortunately, I do not know the internet addresses. This is what it looks like, I recently bought in a paint store. Colorless, after drying it is transparent like glass.

Old topic, but similar problem.
I replaced the valve and had to dismantle the tank for this purpose.
Unfortunately, when screwing the tank on, I overdid it and the tank broke from the screw to some 10cm further - the crack ends just behind the bottom edge.
You've talked about this dragon glue, but I'm wondering if it will work in this case, because when I start to tighten the screw, the glue may come off.
What do you think about applying Reinzosil on both sides? I mounted an oil pan gasket on it, so I guess swimming in the water wouldn't hurt it.
I would do this by tightening the screw and then applying it to it. Does it make any sense?

alkasyn · Answer

So what, did it help? Because I just did the same thing, I pressed the nut and a hairline crack appeared, with water seeping out of it.

Quote: Kintsugi - a traditional Japanese technique of gluing ceramics with gold. The technique involves joining pottery shards with lacquer (lake sumac resin) and decorating the cracks with powdered gold or other precious metal. Instead of covering up an item`s imperfections, kintsugi masters turn them into an asset.
