Broken Dirty Bird Scuttle

[lackluster dave]

I've had some good use out of my Dirty Bird, but got in the habit of holding it not by the handle, but with a thumb in the spout. This was easier for me to hold when loaded with water. After more than 2 years of service, the spout broke and I can't blame anyone - just pass the info one to others.

I can give it a good home if you decide to replace.

Bummer. Appears to still be functional, albeit a bit "customized". If you still have the broken piece(s), perhaps they can be crazy glued back on.
Just a thought.

Looks more rustic now. No need to replace it.

How many pieces did it break into? I'm sure you could glue it back on if it wasn't too bad.

At least it'll still work. Do you still have the broken off piece, and can it be glued back on?

 

[lackluster dave]

The part that broke off practically crumbled into a lot of little pieces - I'd never be able to glue it back. I'll probably smooth the rough edges out with my dremel...and capitalize on this event to legitimately acquire a new scuttle!

Just a suggestion here, but I believe that if you got some J-B Stick Weld (the kind you slice off and work both materials together), you could rebuild that broken area. It dries a silvery gray, which might not look too awful. It can stick to pretty much anything and is waterproof. Can also be Dremeled or sanded. Worth a try. If it's not acceptable and you decide to replace, my offer to adopt it stands. http://jbweld.net/products/jbstik.php
