He was doing you a favour; cooling you down.

Tripping the Rideau:

A wise concern. Just don't over do it. It doesn't have to be glowing red.

Expanding the surrounding material will do the same thing.

A previous owner might have used thread locker compound on that. If so, heat will soften the thread locker and release its grip.

Heat makes things expand. You do NOT want to expand the bolt. You DO want to expand the material that surrounds the bolt, and is entrapping it.

Just the standard ABS plumbing pipe cement. Its cheap. You don't have much time to apply it before it sets up. I've made loads of things out of ABS. With the flat stock you can add pieces like gussets and stiffeners by gluing pieces together.

In the past I have sometimes made ABS paste by combining ABS chips and filings with glue; mix it all up. You can also melt slivers of it onto a cracked or broken piece using a soldering gun, effectively welding it. I've also cut ABS pipe along its length and heated it up in the oven until its...

I sent the form in 5 days ago and still haven't received a reply.

Town of Georgina is in the process of installing a bunch of these. The posts are up, and the signs in place but the cameras aren't mounted yet.

You could try making a mock up out of wood to test for fit.

Coincidentally, I demonstrated the use of a bore gauge during his visit.

I've been using these guys in recent years, mainly because they are close to me. They have high end modern equipment and do a nice job for about 50 bucks. https://www.edgeperformance.ca/en/
