Chexk your mesaages.

I have to rebuild my cylinder for the 4th time and plan to beef it up with some JB weld this time. Actually I'm going to try to just repair it since rebuilding with the same crappy potmetal will just mean I have to do again in a year or so. If I can pull off a true repair maybe with a thin sheet of brass or stainless on the base of the part that breaks in half people can make a better than new repair for pennies.
