Does anyone have a quick fix for a broken nipple? It cracked off at the base and need to finish veneering this weekend. I can't order a nipple repair kit until Monday.
Thanks,
Bob

First, make sure the brass fitting goes up into the platen board so there is no stress or pulling on the broken nipple. Then I would get some, I think its called "Mortite Caulk" from a hardware store. Its kind of a sticky putty meant for temporarily sealing up gaps in old windows.

Take a small amount of the stuff and mush it all around the nipple and brass fitting so the caulk completely cover the nipple area. This should get you by.
