What’s the best adhesive to stick this back together on my Vax?

It’s the suction pipe from the head to the tank.

Try clear silicone, as it it doesn’t work it’s easy to pick off.

The bottom collector tank on my Vax splits in half every 2-3 years and silicone keeps it running.

The wash head is reinforced with mesh tape under a thick layer of epoxy.

Tiger seal is good and it probably wont ever part again so bear that in mind!

I reattached the brush bar bracket on our Vax with Gorilla glue (the expanding, water-activated one), has been fine for a good couple of years. Depends on plastic and location I guess.

Make sure the areas you want to stick together are clean. If not the joint is compromised. Prep is as important in adhesives as with painting.
