I hacve a Feser quad and a Feser dual that have stress fractures around the fittings, and are thus.. leaking

May be garbage, but, am curious of what way would be best, if any, to seal the fractures? Thinking about some sort of epoxy, but ????

any ideas?

I mean, man, these things are irreplaceable

thinking 90 degree fittings werent't the best idea on these thin skinned rads

jb wled ?

you can try epoxy, sounds like it will work on paper ..........


brazing them would be a better solution though , but a PITA

you have to sand them back down to bare metal first to get the rods to stick

using a heavy silver content rod would help reduce heat but they are expensive bastards

Good luck bro

I have one for sale if you can't get it fixed up

I still have another quad I'm not using, just a bitch to throw them away

I have some heavy silver epoxy used to cold solder, actually used it to fix a video card, thinking that might work?

If you do not repair them with JBweld (TBH I am not sure that is no better than standard epoxy) or epoxy (I would not use since it so easily deteriorates little acetone and whoops its rubber cement!)

dont trash them recycle them. Scrappers will probably give you a few bucks for them since they are alum and copper? Average PC tower nets $15-20 from what I hear. Would assume something with no plastic would get close.

Have you tried just heating them up with a torch and a little solder? (if all else fails)

Ohh side benefit. dont wait for them to cool down and put the tubing on. Instant no clamps action! LOL jk
