got in last night to find the kitchen flooded, short story is there was an
underwire sticking through the drum. tipped the machine up today and found
a
small hole about 7mm punched in the drum casing. as the machine is 8
month's
old i was going to ring the repair place but should i decide to repair it
myself what would be the best adhesive for the job. i was thinking of
jb-weld, i have used it in the passed with success. my plan is to glue a
small plate of aluminium over the hole. any other suggestion's??


What material is the drum made from? If it's a new nylon drum, then glass
fibre webbing and moulding paste usually does the trick. You don't need
that much of it either. Or the other alternative is Araldite. Which can
take a week or so to cure off properly though, before you can use the
machine again.
