my epoxy seals are breaking down basicly
The epoxy thats in contact with my water wetter/distiled water mix is breaking down. It's a low density, suposedly chemicaly resitant epoxy. I used it to make a few adapters for the radiator my water cooling rig uses. So atm im needing to put a second layer of sealant over the epoxy seals in these adapters, basicly there plastic stop caps with a hole cut in the middle with a brass hosetail dropped into the hole and epoxy sits between the sides of the holetail and the walls of the stop cap. All I need is a stable, chemicaly resistant barrier to the water wetter mix, would silicon putty (plumber putty) be a good enough barrier? Has anyone had a simerler experience or can ya share with me what epoxy or sealant you've used if it didnt have any adverse effects being in contact with your water wetter! mixture
