My Model: S270T2AU filter has developed a "pin hole" leak at one of the two vertical seams approximately 10mm below the plastic flange clamp. My attempts to patch the leak with two-pack epoxy and superglue have been unsuccessful, as they have not bonded to the shell. Please advise what adhesive will bond to the shell and seal the pinhole? Is it feasible to seal the pinhole by lightly melting the plastic shell with a hot soldering iron? Your advice will be greatly appreciated in order to rectify this apparent manufacturing defect, and avoid the need for very expensive filter replacement.
