Fiber optic light lens leak
Permalink  
 

Working on an old LA Spas Esteem 8052. 21 years old, I think?
The fiber optic light plastic lenses have aged until they've cracked. Water flows through the fiber optic cable tube, back to the bundle at the light, then back through other fiber tubes! It's the weirdest thing, and was difficult to pinpoint. 
My question is about the materials. I want to just cover the lenses with adhesive to seal them up. The lenses look to be just plastic, but the tub is acrylic covering fiberglass, I think? Aren't most tubs? I need an obviously waterproof sealant that will adhere to both materials and stay put. Any recommendations by someone who's tackled this type of thing?
The lights can't be reached from the bottom to remove or replace. They're sort of in the middle of the tub, not near the edge, and it's filled with spray foam insulation. It MIGHT be possible to dig through it, if it was flipped up on edge, but that's not happening. The whole thing might disintegrate! The last image I uploaded was to try to show how far back these lights really are.
I just want to seal up the lenses and keep on running it. Not worried about these lights.
Thank you!

Repairing the cracked plastic lenses on your LA Spas Esteem 8052 can be a bit tricky, but there are some options you can consider. Since you're dealing with two different materials, plastic lenses, and an acrylic-covered fiberglass tub, you'll need a waterproof sealant that can adhere to both surfaces. I suggest marine-grade silicone sealant. This type of sealant is commonly used in marine applications and is designed to create a waterproof bond. It adheres well to various materials, including plastics and fiberglass. Ensure you get a clear or transparent silicone sealant to maintain the appearance of the lenses.
