FamiliarJoe Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 So I was trying to fix the grommets so that my phunnel bowl would seal properly. I ended up putting my regular size grommet inside of the phunnel bowl grommet or else it would just fall over and was loose. I pushed the bowl down and it slammed down on the ashtray..and chipped :|I got it to work ONCE very well and 1 bowl lasted for hours. I can't get my bowl sealed anymore! It's a centimeter long chip on the very bottom. Is there anything specific that's good for sealing something like that ? Im assuming something heat resistant.

AKammenzind Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Epoxy that sucker up, and you're good to go. Is this a Tangiers phunnel? Or the Chinese one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKammenzind Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 You can get it at most any home improvement or hobby store really, just make sure you read the label... some types aren't safe near high heat, but most should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd keep it around in case of other unfortunate bowl accidents, it works wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inino Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 sand it down and make it shorter, you might be able to seal it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRXtreme808 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Yah buy a new one and you can send me the old one! Hahaha I'd be able to fix that. Some epoxy resin, sanding and done. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delSol_si Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I would probably just use super glue or duct tape. More likely super glue because it is so cheap and you wouldn't have to reapply it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmunRa Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Take a strip of a napkin or paper towel, dampen it, and wrap it around the top of the pipe. Put the bowl on there and that should fix you up until you get a new one. This works almost every time. Be sure not to get the towel too damp though, otherwise it will turn when you put the bowl on, or it will rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
