    Default WTF Illadelph coil problem

    So today after class i get home take my coil out of the freezer put it on the base, but as i was attaching it to the base the marble over the fill hole fell off. This isn't the end of the world but now i think the glue is loose on the coil too. If the glue on the coil is going to fall off how should i go about fixing this. Hot glue gun? Gorilla glue? Please help

    this happened to a friend of mine when he took his out of being stored in his attic, whole vatra bag was covered in the goo... the epoxy they use seems to wear off often times

    Glued glass fail I would use industrial grade epoxy I suggest going to advanced auto parts, and picking up a "EXTREME REAR VIEW MIRROR EPOXY" package, they make a small single use kit for like 6$ be super careful or you will loose all the skin on one of your fingers lol. Also while your their pick up some 400 grit sand paper and clean up both sides of the previous glue attempt. ruffing up the surface will help with adhesion apply the glue and use a rubber band to hold the marble solidly on their.

    Something like this

    *NOTE* I dont own a Illy coil, I am just speaking from my personal experience with automotive glass, as a factory trained ford master technician.

    Actually I never drive stoned, I take it very seriously as I Road Race professionally and have seen some scary crashs. With the morons on the street I need all my wits about me.
