FC cracked.
    #14531537 - 05/29/11 04:31 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I plan on making this into my shotgun FC, but there's a large crack down the side.  Would a good duct tape job do the trick?  Should I tape before or after I drill holes?  I know that the best idea is to go get a new container, but if it is still useable then why not?
Thannkyou

You could duct tape it, or you could silicone it as long as there are no

huge chucks missing. I think the silicone would look, and work alot

better due to the humidity. If you are using it as a SGFC, you could just

drills small holes on both sides of the crack in sets, then run zip ties

through it. It all depends on what you have as far as fixing materials.

But, if you plan on fixing it, I would drill the holes first. You could

drill a small hole at the bottom of the crack so it doesn't spread any

further also. Or you could just spend 8 bucks and go buy a new one.

duct tape will suffice.

clean it and dry it well and the duct tape will stick ridiculously well

I think its an okay size, depending on how many cakes you plan to put

into it.

Don't repair it.  Use the tub as-is with a crack.  The glue on duct tape will grow molds.

Next time, don't push so hard when you drill the holes, or use a proper bit.
