Took a long time to glue all these together. Tried Loc Tite Super glue--after the Epoxy mix did not work. I think it was old... Thr Super glue worked--just a slow pricess--having to let every step harden. 2--Got a right-sized PVC pipe piece and glued it into the hole with Epoxy. (new tube). Waited till the next day to make sure it was set...Drilled a hole through the top of tube for it to hang by. Went through a lot of options--thin chain--thick pull-chain piece-- but settled on just putting a large hanging hook in there. This will hold better that a piece of chain. Was worried about the weight. and--the baffle had to pass over it--so something removable and easy to hang won out. 3--Testing--1--2--3---. Will this work OK? YES! It will work fine! Yeah! 4--And---We are back in business.....Last fix-it job on this tube feeder. This was #4. Gonna use my 5' little folding ladder to hang it up from now on. Glad to have been able to fix it. My resourceful mind at work---again..... Gita |
