CB6000 - 2nd problem: injury from device splitting

sol's latest CB6000 report on "researching" the CB6000, on Fetlife at my request:

"The CB6000 turns out to have a manufacturing flaw, apparently quite common. The main body of the device is moulded in halves which are glued together, and the glue on the underside has partially come unstuck. The result is that it pinches and has broken the skin on the underside of my cock.

"So for the moment I'm taking a break, while I heal and we work out what kind of glue is best to repair it."

This seems to be a very common flaw that many wearers of the device encounter. The internet is full of stories. As one example, here's stickylips' experience from the Male Chastity Forum site:

"Well, disaster happened yesterday. Hubby's CB-6000 split at the seam while he was wearing it at work, it was only day three of our sixth session of his wearing it and I think in total he's had it adorning his tackle for about 50 days since we purchased it.

"He was in a boring business meeting, he was daydreaming and developed a hard-on which created so much internal pressure that the seam running along the underside of the device finally gave way and separated by a few millimeters. The net result being that the underside of his cock then filled the gap and became pinched between the two halves of the shell. He had to extricate himself from the meeting in considerable discomfort and adjust himself in a toilet cubicle; unfortunately he was not able to remove the CB as it was padlocked by yours truly and although the joint was weakened he could not break the thing apart completely. So it was several hours before relief came. The underside of his cock now has a one-inch pinch mark, the skin is broken in several areas and looks extremely sore.

"In hindsight, it seems obvious that eventually the seam will fail under the constant internal outward pressure that an engorged penis exerts in a confined space. With something this expensive one tends to assume that the quality control of the product is adequate but Hubby reckons that this is a major design flaw; we had enjoyed using the CB-6000, it was fun for both of us and it gave a real enhancement to our sex life. Obviously we will not be using it again, but I wanted to warn others of this potential problem"

I've quoted stickylips in full because of that last line ... I think she's right about letting others know about this problem. Sol's too was a nasty pinch injury as you can see from the photo at the top.

You can read similar experiences from many others on stickylips' thread. While stickylips was less interested in repairs and more interested in a new device that wouldn't injure her husband, many forum members posted suggesting ways to make repairs ... and we experienced the same thing, with good feedback from friends re how to fix the device . billc393 noted:

"I've heard other tales of this happening too sol...

"One solution I read about the guy split the ring at the 'crack' smoothed the edges and superglued them back together. Personally I'd go for an Epoxy fix.. you'd have to sand and polish it once it cured, but it would be unlikely to split again. If you attempt either repair, be sure to clean the surfaces well with acetone and avoid touching it again with your bare hands (use latex gloves) until the repair cures. The oil on your skin can screw up the bond.

"Kept For Her sell replacement rings etc for many of the CB products 2000-6000 might be just as easy to order a replacement ring"

I mentioned to bill that we'd read on another site that Epoxy didn't work on the devices. He replied:

"There are many types of epoxy, one for nearly anything, you need to know what the type of plastic is. There are also specific plastic glues that sort of 'weld' the pieces together. I've also heard that you might be able to get it replaced as defective from the maker. Last, on the site I listed I think they sold replacement tubes as well.

"I hope you guys get this resolved as I was enjoying reading about the journey."

Don't worry bill, he's not escaping it THAT easily! We might resort to Ms_Ariel's suggestion ("Rubrluvr just put a strip of black electrical tape on the seam to fix it. Ruins the look but works. We just got a Curve instead.") while we work out the glue issue!
