Jo,
I buy my pumps from Aftosa...

I prefer the glue on screw type because they are cleaner in use (the
cork ones get slimey). But... get a good glue and let it cure a few
days before putting pressure on it.

Thanks,

We had big problems with all of the glues recommended by the
manufacturers ... finally stumbled on "shoo goo", and have not had a
problem with them coming un-glued for years ... that would be thousands
of them. The "shoo goo" is manufactured in the States somewhere. Can
look this up if you like when I am back at teh Pottery.
Happy Potting,

Could "shoo goo" be the silicone stuff in a tube that is sold to repair and
waterproof shoes? I wonder if one could also use the silicone stuff that is
used to repair leaks on the sides of car windshields....

Plumbers Goop is a really good product with superior sticking and gluing
capacity, in my experience. I have used it to seal holes in fishermans hip
waders, and never had a leak again...ever. I have repaired plumbing with it
in some unlikely ways when nothing else would stick and seal. Would suggest
giving it a try.

Hi there --Nope, "Shoo Goo" is a relative of "Plumber's Goo" and "Household
Goo". Actually, as far as I can tell, they are all the same compound. They are
not silicone based. In my experience, silicone adhesives are relatively low in
structural strength when in constant contact with moisture. I have used
"Plumber's Goo" with excellent success in assembling components of ceramic
fountains, including assemblying expoxy coated bamboo to glazed surfaces. It is
both highly water resistance and strong, while retaining some flexibility. A
word of caution, however. The stuff has some nasty solvents in it, and should
only be used with excellent ventilation. Unfortunately, I'm not in my studio at
the moment so I don't have a tube of the stuff to give you the manufacturer's
name, but you'll find it in any well stocked hardware store.
