Got ahold of him today. Guess he foes not check voicemail. He was more than happy to ship me a new barrel. Asked me to ship the old barrel Back when I was done my current batch as he had never herd of this and wanted to shoe the manufacturor of the barrel. For now we settled on pictures of the defect due to shipping costs and we will go from their if they need it back. So I'm happy.. I plan on building a system this summer if the little one is still interested that will run multiple barrels. Then I can build my own barrels for the cost of 1 new barrel in my area

Tire patch worked pretty good. Sealed down tight and no were for grit to get trapped. On a side note I noticed that the hard plastic lid has practical and grit embedded into it. Guess I'll get a spare lid for polish stage until I can get a spare barrel.

Ok, the patch repair sounds good. If it vulcanized good it should be a seamless repair. Is Thumler shipping you a new barrel?
