Ive got an auto siphon and noticed that the seal between the cane and the rubber thing at the bottom of the cane was not airtight, there were bubbles getting inside the siphon.
So I tried to hotglue the 2 parts together to eliminate the leak (not sure if it was a good idea but hot glue was all ive got), when i tried to pump it the hotglue thats ALREADY cured started to get stuck on the wall and when i pulled the cane up it smeared the hotglue all over the chamber, I have no idea that would happen cause the glue was already cured, it seems like the hotglue worked like an eraser and stuck itself at the walls of the siphon chamber, now the damn thing is stiff as heck, I can still use the siphon but pumping the cane is now hard and ive actually cut myself because of trying to start a siphon, any suggestions on what to do (cant buy a new siphon), I tried rubbing alcohol and still didnt work seems like it stuck itself real good in there.
