My sun funnel has completely come apart. To be specific, the rear projection screen material tore away from the pipe-clamp that was holding it to the funnel. I am left with a disk of material that is barely larger than the diameter of the opening of the funnel. My guess it that I just had it stretched too tight, and over time it tore.
So, can I re-attach this to the funnel with crazy glue or some other adhesive? O must I resort to buying another piece of this stuff?
