Down Spout Extension

With years of rain running down the house downspouts, they shrink! They are too shore to reach the drainage pipe and water spills onto the ground. To the rescue – the Drainpipe Extender. I have 3 pictures: 1. Before repair 2. After repair before painting and gluing 3. Final result This is a two-part plastic collar the fits around the end to the pipe and makes a proper connection. The object is in 2 parts for easy installation. Gluing the parts together is best done with a construction adhesive that has polyurethane. This rather nasty ingredient will harden to a permanent bond, but before then is difficult to use. I have found the easiest solution is to paint the contact surfaces with the adhesive using a small disposable bush – I think they are known as Acid Brushes (see picture). Paint the surfaces evenly with a thin layer and press together Unlike wood glue clamping is only needed to hold the pieces in place, they do not need a tight approximation. DO NOT wipe off the excess. The adhesive will harden to a chewing gum consistency in about 2 hours. At this point peel off the excess. Final hardening takes 2-3 days, and it is EXTREMELY hard. I printed mine with PLA since it is in the shade. I also painted it white to match the adjoining plastic connector. I have 2 versions 1. 45mm extension 2. 80mm extension
