No doubt, that stuff is brutal. And it sets up quick! I think I found a guy in my frantic search for info the last couple of days who I'm going to get to go over my fiberglass, probably this fall/winter. Make it look all new again. Frigging rollercoaster ride these last couple of days that's...

It went extremely well. The adhesive pumped through right out the ends. I'm stoked. I can't see that boom ever moving there again.

Yah, it's not going to be easy to pull that boom off man, it's a super tight fit. I've considered it, but the advice I got is that the adhesive is so powerful that it won't really matter about the crud in or around there. Obviously spotless would be ideal but as long as there's some positive...

Erik you are correct. I've prepped everything and am just about to inject the adhesive. I'm pretty much 100% certain no adhesive was ever pumped into any of the 16 holes on the upper boom insert. The holes are wide open and with a little wire/poker I can feel all around in there. Also I've...

Lonnie is the man Dave. He's fingering out what exact adhesive it is. He said it's an easy fix, no need to disassemble anything. Line it up to where it's supposed to be and he says those holes that are plugged with silicone should be threaded for 1/8th grease nipples. Put nipples in all the...

FWIW Time Mfg is having their engineers look over the bolting ideaer. Really top guys to deal with so far. Said if the bolts would work they'll supply me with the blueprints for doing it. That was cool I thought.

Yah I won't be doing it. But the redneck in me is just screaming it'll work!

Heh I'm no engineer but what about bolting it like the lower insulated section is when re-sealing it to insure no future hassle? It's not in the insulated section and the holes would be much smaller than the multiple holes/access plates already in the boom? Crazy? Probably I'm guessing.

I think the bonding material is 'squirted' in through two holes on each of the four sides of the boom. You can kind of see the little plugged holes I'm referring to in the pics. So I think it's done with the boom in place but yah for sure some prep is going to be needed. I'm basically forked...

I do believe it will be an option if the fiberglass is ok still, because the service manager mentioned it when I described the problem. I'm wondering if this isn't the first time this has happened? I can't find anything on the net about it, but I am a computer genius too. I'd suspect that if...

You're kind of paranoid eh Erik? But I do agree that the bonding should never have failed. I'm pushing for manufacturers warranty! Lol.

I'm sure hoping it can be re-bonded. Although in the pics there are some cracks forming, they would need further inspection I would think? I hear ya on the bonding failing. That's bogus imo, my old boom was twice as old a versalift too and it was going strong until I flopped it. Whenever I...

I'd consider it! With the amount of long dead birch on the schedule it might be worth it.

Heh, no one died or was hurt. I'm thankful to have spotted it. The levelling system got lose obviously from the sliding back, that's what twigged me on to it.

Well I have a issue on my hands. The boom slid down tight against the bolts that hold the fiberglass cover/protector on. It was right up against the bolts so I couldn't even undo them. I then put the lower boom over center and with the upper boom straight up and down was able to 'wiggle' it...
