Lamp Housing Gasket

The lamp housing was removed to drain the water inside. When installed back, made the mistake of installing the left side of the holder to the right side causing the housing to break at the flange. The flange break was repaired with Locktite 408 instant bond adhesive and a splice made of the gasket material. Water got inside due to the deteriorated gasket.

Materials used were leftovers from previous projects.
