I guess those 2 mixture super glue is Epoxy. You need a day for it to cure before you can use.

i waited for a day before using it but it only lasted 3 days

Try this brand "Araldite" Epoxy.

Petmart sells replacement impellers, but the impellers aren't cheap..

check with petmart, no stock available
qianhu say stock will come in 3 months time

Try this brand "Araldite" Epoxy.

i think i use this, is it red & white mix?
will have to double check later

thanks

my boss use a industrial standard glue(translucent white mix with translucent yellow) that claims to hold 2 tonnes of load

hope it can endure until the replacement arrive

thanks all

the problem with many of these glues and epoxies is the minimum contact surface size might be larger than the impeller face.

you're bonding metal to plastic right?

No need to use Araldite for these repairs. Normal cyanoacrylate super glue is fine. I fixed the faulty impeller in one of my Eden 316 with normal 3M super glue. It's still working 3 months after the repair. Just let it cure, rinse it in tap water good and it should be fine.

Clean and prepared surfaces will accept adhesive better. Slime and gunk can sometimes act like insulator, creating a weak bond.

Cynoacylate based (super glue) works best when the parts have intimate contact, meaning no gaps, and on non-porous materials.
