I am thinking of purchasing a 2k3 losoya but the problem is the feedneck is un attached, the seller says to superglue it but I'm not sure how I feel about doing that. Is there any way around that?

Super Glue will disolve when wet. There are better things to use like lock-tite and jb weld. I think the best would be call or send it to BLAST. The staff there are great and will tell you the best way to handle it.

JB Weld or ship it to blast are the two best options in my opinion.. mustard hole was all over this one :tup:

what probably happened is the feed tube came out of the body and needs to be reattached.. if it is anything more than this (i.e. the feedneck has stripped threads, or is physically broken) it will require more than just glue

duct tape fixes everything though
j/k you could always call BLAST to see what they think.

Send it in, or use Blue Loctite. I'd go against using JB weld in case you want to switch feednecks.

I'd strongly suggest sending it in if it is bad.

This happened to mine and I used some clear epoxy I had in the shop to set it back into the body. It worked great but crankwalk is right, if it has stripped threads or some serious damage no amount of glue will fix it.

I suggest just sending it in, JB weld and Loc-tite are more for securing items ratehr than fixing a broken thread.

ERGOGUY,
I copied this info from the Super glue website
Remove cured adhesive with warm, soapy water (may take several applications). Fingernail polish remover with an acetone base has also been successful for removal of cured adhesive from skin.

Also, I dissolved super glue that my son put on his halo hopper before trading it out with mine...Not trying to be a D**K but I know it will disolve!!!!
