Jobo drum question

[Steve M Hostetter]

Hello,,,

I have a problem with keeping the chem cup attached to the lid...

What kind of silicone does it take to weld the cup to the cap...? Where do I get it.?

Thx
Steve

Which lid and cup do you have? Here's what I know about the lid that I have for the 2840 print drum:

The cup attaches to the underside of the lid with a twisting motion. The cup is interchangeable with the baffle with a hole in it for use on a tank with film reels. There is a gap between the cup or baffle and the lid. This allows liquids to enter and leave and also serves to vent the tank so that you can pour liquids out.

I don't know if that helps at all. Gluing the cup to the lid might prevent it from working at all.

Good luck!

Steve, On my lid, it takes a bit of force to turn the cup and "snap" it in to position. Perhaps you haven't turned it all the way to snap it in place.

Hello,,,

This lid was purchaced on ebay and it appears to be rigged so that it works for a long enough time so that the piece of shit that sold it to me will get positive feedbeck before I notice what he done...
I have sent the guy a message asking for a new lid and if he doesn't want to make it good I will put his ebay name up in here so that others don't make the same mistake I did...

Sorry for your bad luck.

I swore off ebay. I've been very happy since.

No biggy ,,, everything else works ok,, I just have a lot of time in dealing with the lid .. More of a pain then I needed while trying to learn processing

Is the cup broken or the lid? The lids are all the same. I reckon the cup must be broken. I hope you find one. I got mine by accident when I bought a 2840 print drum. It came with the correct lid and cup. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known the difference and would have a useless 2840 drum.

Expert drum cap mod. A simple gardening cup cut to size and epoxied. Pics show first just the cup with 400ml of liquid sitting on top of a open 3010, and then the finished cap raised about 5mm (using a slim CD box) for illustration. Cap's rim fits some 3mm deep, enough for easy application of the DIYer's best fried, the gaffer tape.
