SimplexCoda Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 if you can braze then i would do that cause its gonna be the nicest and best way, if not try something like JB weld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1v3th3ad Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I found anywhere that isn't going to be affected by the charcoal heat...Clear Silicone Caulk for bathrooms...I just applied some 10mins ago to my craigslist hookah...that takes care of seals, but not aesthetics...for aesthetics go with the jb stick(or weld)...I used that stuff dozens of times for my very first hookah that always fell apart bc it is chinese junk(downstem problems, all the other jb stick welds I put on held beautifully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 ok so jb weld it is. thanks everyone for the help. my smoke was thin, and i knew that it had to be leak somewhere so i plugged the ends and heard a little air slipping through the hose port. its a KM so its handmade and it really isnt a big deal to me to have to repair a little.
