I don't know dude,,, but I know I couldn't hold it that long. I'd be looking for another way out if I were you.

maybe a tooth is off, has broken off
or it didn't go together right

at the bottom there's a cross over stitch or clip
that can removed and replaced sometimes

that is the most frustrating thing in the world:uhuh:

I was going to suggest silicone also.

the other thing you can do is..........

[if the top is open] is to pull it apart

all the way to the bottom and sometimes it will pop free

plastic should be salvageable, corroded metal is usually ruined. Soak it for a day or two, and your head too.
