Going through many yard pipes I’ve noticed that shanks are cracked. Normal repair is CA glue, with an added band for reinforcement. Many restorers collect old bands resulting in a critical mass of pipes to restore. Bands are sold separately and in quantities are quite expensive.
I’m wondering about plumbers copper tubing, or aluminum tubing for shank stems. Tubing is thicker but it some cases might work.
Has anyone thought about a diy shank band material, other that the zip tie method?
Many thanks,
-Bill
