The thermometer on my repop Flying Quail cap has developed a gap in the red alcohol, is there a way to repair this without replacing the thermometer? :(
Thanks Tim
 
The instructions that came with a original motormeter said that if the liquid became seperated to tap it on the spare tire, another way i have read about is to tie a "rope" to it and swing it , a slow method is to let it sit with the top at a slight up angle --reversing what probably caused it to seperate ---improper storage
 
My grandpa told me about the rope trick. I tied it very securely and swung it for about two or three minutes and it worked. I was surprised but he was not.

Tried the rope trick, tapping it on the spare, and freezing it. Only managed to separate the disconnected alcohol into smaller segments. Heating it with a heat gun until it went to the top finally connected it all back together. Things back to normal and I thank everybody for the suggestions.
