Tips on repairing a cracked sump

[nathan1986]

Just purchased a sump from a local guy and it got cracked during shipping. I emailed the seller (really nice guy) but he is away out of town for the next week or so and most likely won't receive my message any time soon. Anyways the sump is cracked on the top left side and goes straight down a good 8" or so. Does anyone have any good tips to repair the cracked acrylic?

Tips on repairing a cracked sump

I have had best luck on cracks using #3 or #4 acrylic weld. If you're down this way, I have and you can borrow as well as the needle applicator. It actually seeps into crack and bonds.

I was just reading up on the Weldon 3. Should I treat the crack like you would a fiberglass crack and drill a hole at the end of the crack? And unfortunately I'm far from where you are located

You should drill a tiny hole where the crack stopped which will stop it from cracking further.

Agree on the drill to stop further. One can also weld one a thin sheet inside and it would be double reforcment. If done correctly and not bubble should be pretty unnoticeable. I have Weldon and sheet if needed. New tampa

I think I hooked him up with someone close to him that can fix in a jiffy

You sure did. He came to my house and fixed it. Also refused payment, which I would of liked to pay him. But he seemed happy to help me out.
