A glitch in my shop cleanup

When all else fails … duct tape.

That make work for the short term. I have found a 2-1/2 inch coupler that make work. But sadly Woodcraft is closed for the evening

That’s what they make duck tape for. It holds the item in the correct position to work.

Stick to your guns, Rustic. Often it is better to wait and do it the right way.

Get someone to hold the joint together and wrap it several times with duct tape. Then take some solid copper wire, while the person is still holding the joint, and wrap the solid wire around several times on each pipe overlapping the joint and then duct tape once more. If the wire is wrapped tightly it will reinforce the joint.

Bought the new couplings and they STILL don’t fit. I guess I will spend the money and get the right set-up tomorrow

IF YOU CAN’T FIND THE RIGHT OD, FIND A PIECE THAT WILL FIT THE ID. BEEN THROUGH IT BEFORE MYSELF.

Found them at Woodcraft 4 couplings later and it finally fits. Total cost about 35 bucks. vs 79.00 for the dust deputy
