I am NOT a tight wad. BUT I sure don't like to replace anything if I can fix it.
My Superglue fix worked until a couple weeks ago. I am now at my home base and thought about removing the toilet but instead I turned off the water to toilet and reached in and cleaned off the bottom of the "BALL". I then put s few ounces of LocTite PL3 in my gloved hand and placed an even layer on the bottom of the ball. I let it dry for a couple days but when I really let it slam the cured pc separated and was inside the tunnel so I reached down and removed it.
Not giving up yet!!! I cleaned the bottom again then scrubbed it with emory cloth then cleaned with Acetone. I mixed up JB weld and smeared a thick layer on bottom of ball. Let it set overnight. I have been using it and snapping ball into place for over a week now!!!
NEVER GIVE UP!!!
