shower-door water-deflector eroded, came off
"Shower-door water-deflector eroded, came off"
What's it made of? Not obvious to me: (Shower door, etc, was installed in perhaps 1940, maybe a few years earlier) .. Aluminum? Doesn't have that "aluminum feel", seems not lightweight enough for that. .. Some other alloy? Anyway, it seems to be made of *some* fairly-lightweight metal. (Poteltial clue?: Although it shows no aluminum-like wee surface-pits, 2 of its 4 screw-holes (all are near the top edge) have been eaten away, in a V-shape gap, out to edge of the piece. (The wide part of the V being at the edge, narrow part being the wee-hole itself), QUESTION: What to do to reattach this thing to the bottom of the shower door? Drill new holes both through the deflector-piece and into the door (Inner question: what kind of metal-screws will grip the newly-drille *no-threads* hole?) Quick and easy, via some kind of waterproof glue (epoxy, perhaps?) Other ideas? |
