glade everyone is ok. get reeaedy for round two its coming.
I guess it was my turn today. I thought it rained hard yesterday when we got 2 inches in 15 minutes. Today we had 15 minutes of hail. Most was “pea” size, but frequently they were as large as “malt ball” size.

This is not standing water. It is running water. The grade here is probably 1’ in 10’. This is just the runoff from the area around the house. I have a three foot deep ditch behind the house that catches the runoff from uphill. The storm came up so fast I just left the lawn mower and headed inside. Needed a good wash anyway

The only damage was to Interlocking Brunt. Roof and several windows fell out when it was blown over. Hmmmmmmmm…another Goop failure. Roof is understandable, but the windows on the topside that didn’t hit the ground fell out.

15 minutes after the rain stopped, the drainage ditches of the Sunny View Line were still flowing. Ralph

Ralph,
The best I can tell on Goop is that it is a mixture of silicone with acetone. Meaning the silicone holds it in place while the acetone (or a derivitive) melts the plastic together. I’m thinking the plastic is not impacted by acetone and the silicone gives out.
Disclaimer of general term usage of silicone and acetone. Not a chemist just trying to describe a reason for the failure.

You’re right. What’s left looks like silicone and I can peel it off.
I had one corner joint fail also, top to bottom. It was well clamped when assembled. Windows were not clamped, but were well weighted with
12v lead acid batteries. So I don’t think anything I did caused the failure.
The TV antenna on the Chandler Hotel fell over the first hot day. Also styrene to styrene.
I did find some Homax Welder at Lowes. I guess I’ll try it on the repairs.

Either that or go mechanical with epoxy. Give it a path and etched surface and it can grip mechanically as it grabs around little corners and grooves. Kinda like a rivet.
After the epoxy kicks, lay on a bead of silicone to protect the joint and prevent any start of the movement or gathering of moisture. Epoxy needs to be protected from U/V, also.
Just ideas.
