 Resealing a footpump: any point, and what with? - WillDeBeest
Giving both cars an overdue tyre check just now, I noticed one of my ten-year-old Michelin single-barrel pumps wasn't offering much resistance to my foot. When I checked, the metal round the hole where the hose meets the cylinder was buckled, allowing the air to escape.

Question: is there any point in trying to reseal the cylinder, and if so, what product might have the adhesion to withstand the pressure? I probably have some vastly expensive epoxy putty somewhere. Might that be worth a go?
