I'm the man.

[BrunstuckyJoe]

I managed to unstick a sticking regulator and blew the top off of my Geo612. I've got skilz.
Anyone else have a great day like me?

 

[Murphs205]

you the man Joe,,,,,Great Job bud

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

It was like a roman candle....poof....and water everywhere.

 

[PMG]

Ouch! Is it repairable, or is it scrap?

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

Gonna try to machine the top where the top was cemented on and make a new top....just have to find out what kind of cement to use to fuse it on.

 

[dogpound]

U the man Joe.

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

I think bad luck is part of this hobby, Terry.

 

[Murphs205]

Ben did the same thing not to long ago.... not pretty at all

Talk to GEO but I think Weld-On #40 is what you want.

 

[joe22883]

yeah you need some weld on. Did the whole flange pop off?

 

[1628mna]

any pics of the blowup...lol?

 

[dogpound]

Ya I know what u mean.

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

Here ya go, Mike.

Mike660r had the same problem I was at Salty critters when he was buying the replacement.

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

Salty is checking for me if I can fix this one.
Any idea what he paid for the replacement shell?
Nice to see that I haven't been the only guy to do this. I felt kinda stupid when I didn't disconnect it when I refired it.

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

Does anyone know where to buy the weld-on #40 locally?

 

[Bowman]

Joe Yes I would think it is repairable. Again talk to GEO. George is a great guy and has great customer service. The acrylic tube end needs to be resurfaced to give you a clean edge and you will need a new flange to glue onto the tube. Again talk to Geo.

 

[markviiisvt4]

etna plastics in cleveland.

 

[Kreeger1]

I might have one flange set you can have, let me dig through my box in the garage and check for ya.

I'm going to try to clamp the base and run an endmill across the surface about .030 a cut...to get a clean edge....then find a piece of lexan and turn the o.d. face oth sides...bore the id and add a face groove for the oring.....
