Hi

I have a strut on a pram that has sheared.

Hi,

How about a plug of smaller dia tube held in with JB Weld? Or use a
polyurethane sealant/adhesive which would absorb some flexing.


Hi

This is the way I'm going at present, using a length of 12mm mild steel
stud bent to follow the curve.

This leaves a gap of about 2mm all around that I'd like to pour a
suitable glue or resin into, drive out the air pockets and hope it'll
all hold.

In the end, the adhesive/resin will (I think) need to flex to transfer
the load from the pram chassis into the steel, and not fracture too
much itself and hence fall away from filling the void effectively.

Is JB Weld pourable, or at least 'pokeable' into position with a bit of
wire to fill the voids? I'm not at all familiar with polyurethane
adhesives: would they (or something else) be better?

And finally, I'd like to pop out and get the product tomorrow or
Monday. Suggestions for suppliers for more specialist products would
be useful.

TIA
