With the knowledge that the interior material is Engage 8540, I have a follow up question.
I would like to machine a part out of plastic that attaches to the inside material. I want this bond to be as strong as possible and food safe. What polymer would be the best to machine this out of (perhaps a polypropylene?)? And is there a preferred method of bonding (heat, adhesive, superglue, etc.)?
If we find something that works well, this could be a really great way to do plastic 'welded' fittings in stead of going with weldless fittings requiring a gasket. It would also allow for very low profile fittings like a flush mounted bottom drain, which would be really exciting for me and how I brew.
Thanks,
Joshua
