Which flavour are you using, I have a red and a blue glue?

I am accustomed to the blue.

Is this the stuff you are using?

My experimentation would consist of, a collection of tin can's with their bottom perforated on the inside with a four inch nail and then washed out with acetone.

I would then apply various mixtures and neat applications of PCV glue and epoxies, to see which looks to be the best for the job.

Points to consider; would be ease of application, cost of sealant, quantity required to coat a surface, durability of completed surface, safety issues such as toxic fumes and dangers to eyes and skin.

disclaimer; please note, no animals or subhumans will be used in the course of these experiments.
.

id suggest that the white scale in my fuel tank is a dodgy repair job...the fuel blockages im getting/ had are being caused by it being suspended in the fuel it dosent sit on the bottom like rust or mud/grit..
unless someone can explain the white stuff ,id red kote/ bike one or try it on someone elses tank

I know a few subhumans that would most likely benefit from this sort of experiment...it couldent bugger them up any more than they are now

Yes. Methyl-ethyl-ketone - nasty stuff even for sub-humans, so I wore my respirator; had all the doors open and sent the grand-dog inside to be with Granma, in case a drip got in her eyes.

I will do a report when I have finished; I think the whole excursion has cost me about $20 so far. How much does Redkote cost?

Cheers Charlie

The red stuff is usually a cleaner and te blue is a glue for low pressure applications. There is also green glue, used on high pressure pipes such as drinking water/pump pressures.

As Charlie pointed out, the blue plumbers glue is usually methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and a filler. Straight MEK is a colourless liquid with lower viscosity than water. Nasty stuff, causes cancer in Californians.
