That could be a difficult fix....do you still have the piece that broke off?

if you have the peieces use weld on 16 to glue it back together.If you can't find some LMK I have tube around here or at a friends house I think.Either way LMK.What skimmer is it? What is the OD? If it is six inches I have a three foot piece that I could cut and glue onto it to repair it.
