How do I not fuck this up. I tried JB weld and it just broke right off . I thought I had a pretty good joint but it just broke right off
>>2984804nothing will be as strong as originalid try to find a replacement latch. is there any paperwork with you house about the windows? if not youll probably have to pull it and go to the local builders supply not blowes/homeless despot and ask at the contractor counter
>>2984804Drill two 3/16" dia. x 1/2" deep holes in both sides. Then insert two 1/8" dia. by 1" long steel rods soaked in BJ weld. Push together and clamp.
>>2984812Bro it's a piece of plastic like 1/8" thick as it is
>>2984815Plastic is crap and basically unrepairable. Replacement is your best option.>>2984804Does it have a maker stamp on it or somewhere else on the window? If not, take a picture of one of the other windows that isn't broken and post it here. Maybe also rotate the image properly.>But I'm posting from a phone!Don't post from a phone.
superglue gel and baking soda
>>2984850Op here. It's not plastic. It's a casting, probably aluminium . >>2984850Truth hardware awning lever. Replacements are $100 plus a bunch of carpentry fuckery
>>2984876Thanks. I did some research and it is cast zinc. You might be able to fix it in place by doing what >>2984812 suggested. If that fails your only solution would be to remove the operator. Here is a video with the details:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWJo0OJ63kYYou might be able to then take the operator apart and replace the handle with something but I doubt it. Maybe just get a cheaper replacement. The crank out style ones are cheaper.
>>2984804>laughs in CNC mill
>>2984804There’s metal in there somewhere. Rip off all the plastic with some pliers and directly interface the lever with a screwdriver or vice grips.
I'd clamp a set of vise grips on there and call it a day
>>2984977Thanks anon , this works for now
>>2984925Thx
>>2985027hell yeah, I like that even the dollar store carries them
