Hello !

The bell of my sousaphone came off its metal ring. Any idea how to fix it ? Some kind of glue ? Epoxy ? It's a fiberglass Conn 36K.
Thanks in advance for the advices !

itipou

- lightly sand all articulating surfaces
- don't remove any of the factory glue/resin
- use an industrial-grade two-part 24-hour epoxy
- optionally, drill three 1/8" holes about halfway up the overlap at 12, 4, and 8 o'clock, install three 1/2" 1/8-diameter pop rivets, and epoxy in/around each of those as well

Thanks for the answer !
I'll fix it in the coming week.
Have a great Sunday
