What material is the case of the DS-161 made of? Mine has a small crack where the ball adapter screws in and I want to use a little epoxy to fix it, but I need to use the right kind.

kombiguy,
Its an ABS plastic. We suggest you send it in for evaluation and repair. An epoxy type fix is never a good idea with cracked plastics that are used underwater. Water pressure almost always causes the epoxied pieces to again separate and usually causes the crack to get worse causing a potential flood or catastrophic failure.
Send to:

Turnaround time is normally 2 weeks from receipt.
Best Regards,

OP
Thanks. I'd send it in, but I just got it back after it spent a month with you. I'm not sure I want to part with it for another month. But thanks!
