    Default Glue guns

    Has anyone any experience on using glue guns to bond in a hydro unit - or similar?

    ...basically, if I put a bit of tube through a section of tank, that is below water level, & glue gunned it, would the joint remain waterproof?

    what about 3M fast cure marine adhesive sealant, or just regular caulk? Idk what they would do as far as harming the water or letting off toxins, but they should hold it I think??

    Basically you need a bulkhead fitting think of a header tank assembly plumbing fittings.
    What size is the od of the tube i.e. 6mm1/4". 15mm1/2" etc
    I wouldn't use a glue or adhesive even bathroom silicon,I would only use in an emergency.
    more detail dude I can help you out here ( makes a change huh)

    I wouldn't use one MC as I don't think it would seal
    Properly.may do for a short time but I reckon it would leak.

    No, not according to the glue gun website's faq I've just looked at.

    It's a 6mm pipe to go into a plastic bottle... not sure of bottle size yet, but probably 2-3L So bulkhead fittings will be a little OTT

    Good idea hotshot, although I'm wanting to use something I already have as I keep buying stuff, using a little... and then buying something else
