I ordered "regular" JB Weld when I ordered the handle tape.

Think I'm going to put the JB Weld into the crack and let it set overnight, then use the JB Weld handle wrap the following day. That's probably twice as much as I need to do, but it should permanently fix the problem. If I spray paint it black, you probably won't notice the repair from 10' away...lol

Can you post a photo? I'm having a hard time visualizing the issue.
MP4VT2004 • 10/10/25 04:32 PM ET
Oh, rub it in.**

Trying to post from my phone...but not sure it will ever arrive.**
EDGEMAN • 10/10/25 05:07 PM ET
It do be like that sometimes.**
MP4VT2004 • 10/10/25 05:15 PM ET
Well, the pipe fix could buy some productive time

I choose to not visualize Edge having productive time laying pipe**

I've looked at the ones that scream, but they're expensive.**

Sorry I already used my free limit of Perplexity doing my job. I hope
jdkhokie • 10/10/25 02:43 PM ET
Since there’s only a few manufactures of mowers, can you try another
Stork • 10/10/25 02:42 PM ET
Looks like Husqvarna owns and makes Poulan mowers.**
Stork • 10/10/25 02:46 PM ET
And I checked both sites for that part number. Neither are available.**
EDGEMAN • 10/10/25 03:00 PM ET
i would say one of the lawnmower repair shops that people are

The sketchier the better. I can recommend several in Hopewell... **
Burruss Writer • 10/10/25 03:05 PM ET
this says pipe like you said - i would go with wood becuase you can cut it
bigbadbird • 10/10/25 02:32 PM ET
Silly question ...
vt90 • 10/10/25 02:31 PM ET
Geee. Where did you ever see that?**
IB4TECH • 10/10/25 05:01 PM ET
Its funny you should say that, since JB Weld makes epoxy tape for handles
EDGEMAN • 10/10/25 03:03 PM ET
Put some rebar in it.**
