Silent Spinners

[SQ]

I have a problem with silent spinners ....
They quickly become filthy between the two wheel sections and eventually i manage to break them when taking them apart for very necessary cleanings.

Today I spoke with a couple of local craftspeople regarding this problem.
I was looking for someone to use a small directed flame to fuse the two sections together.
No such luck but a few ideas were put forward.

- gluing the two sections together
- using nontoxic aquarium sealant (as it is nontoxic once it has cured for 48 hours) to seal the seam and stick the two sections together.

What are your thoughts?
Has anyone found a way to deal with this problem?

..... anyone know where they sell aquarium sealant?

I have never had a problem keeping mine clean.....usually just a wipe off and every once in a while I submerge the front part in some water and give it a soak....I don't see any grunge in any of the cracks...and they have no smell to them....

Mine get a black sluge between the sections that does smell

I haven't had any issues with mine yet, but I haven't had it long.

The aquarium sealant may work nicely. Most pet or specialty stores carry it, however it's usually pretty expensive. Instead you can get any sealant from a home improvement store so long as it dose not protect against mold. It's the chemicals in the mold repellent that are bad.
