Rich Webb, et al
Thank you for the emisupply URL! I ordered from them, they shipped promptly, huge calking type tube of RTV like glue Easy to work with, smells like vinegar, sticky and cured quickly [per instruction/description] Best of all! coffee pot does not leak and is now back in service! HIGHLY RECOMMEND EMI Supply http://www.emisupply.com Thanks again, I knew people here would know the answer Robert Rich Webb Apr 11 2010, 2:39 pm From: Rich Webb Date: Sun, 11 Apr 2010 17:39:55 -0400 Local: Sun, Apr 11 2010 2:39 pm Subject: How to repair plastic seal for liquids used in human consumption?

Silicone adhesives, as far as I know, are not particularly toxic in the first place, and I doubt a properly cured bond would leach. Can food be placed in contact if I use superglue? Doubt it, but need confirmation. Superglue isn't stable. It can be weakened simply by contact with water. I'm inclined to agree with the poster who suggested buying a new pot. not an option Short answer: GFGI Medium answer: A search of "food grade adhesive" turns up some likely candidates. This looks promising: http://www.emisupply.com/catalog/su5...rade-silicone- hitemp-10... -- Rich Webb Norfolk, VA |

Now that it's working, give http://aerobie.com/products/aeropress.htm a try, though. Just got one recently and it's *wonderful* for the occasional-cuppa-in-the-morning folks. Also quite fast to brew and an easy clean-up. -- Rich Webb Norfolk, VA |

I have some gift coffee 'gourmet' packages that would be ideal to use in such. How much did it cost? |

I just use regular 8 O'Clock whole beans and pulverize 'm for about 30 secs or so in a standard whirly-blade grinder. -- Rich Webb Norfolk, VA |
