So I won't go into too much detail because it don't really matter I think, but my film holder for washing sits in a deep stainless tank. I need to glue a pvc pipe array directly onto the bottom to distribute the water evenly (if it sits any higher the film sticks out of the wash water or if there is anything like a screw head on top of the PVC pipe it pushes the film carrier up too). I have noticed over the years, when I glue the "feet" onto the bottom of the tank with super glue or silicone that it doesn't last. I have to re-glue one or two every few months if I use super glue or silicon (and that is with a thorough cleaning and sanding of the SS contact area). I have always thought this adhesive failure must be from expansion/contraction of the SS. Am I wrong about that assumption or is it something else? Anyway is there a better adhesive for gluing plastic to SS in a periodically wet environment? Is epoxy better?
