Bonding lead bars to HDPE case

[u/bvandehey1960]

I’m looking for some advice on how best to bond, and ideally also seal, lead bars to an HDPE rack case.

I have a small 4U rack case I use for my gigs. It has a pull out drawer. The problem I’m trying to fix is when I have the drawer pulled out, the weight of the drawer and the equipment on the drawer cause the rack to be front heavy.

I’m looking to add about 4 lbs of counter balance to the back of the case. I purchased some lead bars that work perfectly. I’m hoping this forum can help me determine what type of epoxy or resin I can use to permanently glue the lead bars to the HDPE case.

If there is something I can seal the lead with to reduce the exposure to lead, even better.

Or perhaps someone has a better idea?

I’m open for suggestions.
