Hi all,
just went to empty scrubber knocked it off table onto floor

crack runs about 9ins around scrubber,question is it feasible to "weld" crack safely or is the only option a newie.Not looking to penny pinch but dont know much about plastic/acrylics so thought I,d ask.Its off a Meg .
Cheers

For clarification,I am talking about the inner clear acrylic/plastic sofnolime container that sits inside the ally outer canister.It dropped maybe 3ft full & cracked,should I have expected it to survive such a fall?I am a novice ccr diver so just asking the questions & looking for some advice.

cheers

i would have thought it could be reparied , but if it was mine for peice of mind i would get a new one .

ccr_ada · 24th February 2008, 20:55

sorry bud i just thought that was so funny having a cracked smeg!!

i should of thought about your feelings and how i would of felt if it was my scrubber but i have never heard of an inspo scrubber falling off a table and cracking
lets hope you get it sorted and get back diving soon

from now on keep it on the floor when cleaning and or filling

No, not the clear scrubber its more of a brittle plastic... They are roughly £200 to replace, and this is for scrubber and bracket.

Failing that I know a man selling a Radial scrubber for the Meg.
