I'm not *positive* it's abs--it's a soft-ish black plastic. I don't know how
to tell for sure what it really is. I saw the pipe glue at lowes and was going
to try it assuming the plug is abs, but thought I'd ask here first because I
think I've got one shot at this thing. I don't want to make it unfixable at
all.
