johngreen537 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Yeah mate, it'll need to be air tight at least, then it'll need to be strong enough to cope with the pressure of the vac.Epoxy or equivalent should work though, or chemical metal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
