Super System 4 cracked lid

[Anirudha Ambekar]

Hello APUG,
I own a Paterson universal super system 4 tank and the flexible plastic/rubber lid has developed cracks.
Old age perhaps. I tried to repair the cracks with super glue but the joint was too brittle to sustain the repeated flexing due to putting it on and off the tank. I also tried a silicone polymer glue which took forever to cure and peeled off after one use.
What glue/ fix would you guys recommend for this purpose?

Unfortunately, each of these includes the funnel as well. And I don't know how expensive they would be to ship to South Korea.

I think the lid is polypropylene. Impossible to glue.

Thanks for raising the question though, because I have one of those that has snapped right in half

Yup.
I guess I'll have to get a new lid/ funnel combo!

Poly can be welded with a soldering iron or wood burning tool.
