Ball Lock Keg Handles

Post by RossBee » Thu Feb 05, 2015 8:57 pm

Got a few ball lock kegs that the black plastic handles have come off the top. Kind of a bitch to carry them around without the handles.

Tried glueing them back on with contact cement, PL, superglue, to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Automotive Goop, black version from Canadian Tire, works great.

Edit: I get two handle or bottom repairs per tube. Haven't had one fail, oldest repair is going on 3 years.

Not pretty, but I've used duct tape with success (you've got to overlap a ways down the keg to make sure things are secure once you get some weight in there). You could use black duct tape to make it look nicer. Tuck tape would would too, I imagine.
