HI ALL,

I tried to search the forum but oddly couldn't find what I needed. The lower flat bottom piece of my UV sterilizer (it holds the weight of the water on it) started leaking and spraying and I kept patching it with silicone.

Well, It finally made a huge mess and the entire bottom piece of the thing fell out. What can I use to make it seal water tight and also give it the strength to hold the weight of the sterilizer's water weight on it? It basically needs to be "glued" back on, but also have a nice water-tight seal so I won't find it spraying my wall again.

I started to grab the JB weld, but halted. What can I buy at a hardware store? I live in a small town rural area and would have to drive one hour to get to larger stores.

Thanks for any ideas.
