Fixing Broken Glassware (Reflux Condensor)
Today I received my Reflux Condensor from Deschem (pretty good ebay seller) but once I connected my two water hoses I noticed that water was leaking
into the condensor itself and dripping down...
It's a very small 'crack/hole' that is not connected and causes the leakage. How should I fix this, sending it back is a lot of effort and waiting for
such a small crack. I'll add some pictures so u can see it better.
Using other molten glass is no option because it is way to hard and thermal expansion will maybe crack it even more.. Can i maybe use some kind of
epoxy that is very hard to dissolve in organic solvents/alcohols?

I'd ask for a new one. Reflux condensers are expensive.

I had a similar condenser arrive with the spiral part completely broken. They sent a new one without making me send the old one back, maybe you'll
have the same luck
