Low income housing project floods..


This is what I get for rushing something. Instead of using UHU or aquarium sealant on the front window of the housing, I used 60 second epoxy. Why? Because I couldnt wait to get in the pool and test it out today. Where did that get me? Nowhere.

I put it in the water and was happy to see it float nicely and seemed to be sealed up real tight. The part I was most concerned about, the test plug, was holding just fine. So I put on my mask and snorkel and took the housing down to 8 feet. Well about 6 feet down I saw it, a thin line of water running down the front window. By the time I got to the bottom of the pool, there was 2 inches of water in the housing. So much for that.

Back home I go to try another solvent-weld type of adhesive. More in days to come.
