10167 725 Wet 'R Dry Medium-Bodied Professional Industrial PVC Cement - Extremely Fast-Setting and Low-VOC, Aqua Blue, 1/2 Pint (8 fl oz)

I use Weld-On whenever I have to repair one of my "guaranteed for life" hoses that I use to water plants. The fine print on the hose warranty usually says that the hose is guaranteed but not the fittings. Once the fittings break or if I'm splicing two hoses together, I'll use this pvc cement to help secure the connector and/or the replacement male or female bib. Most replacement hose bibs don't fit the hoses perfectly, so I run some of the Weld-On around the part of the bib to be inserted into the hose and also around the underside of the bib that rests against the end of the hose. This helps fill in any gaps and provides a more secure attachment. The blue color is great because you can see if you've properly coated all of the surfaces and the Weld-On can be applied even if the hose end is still wet. Quick drying is also a benefit although you should leave it to cure for 24 hours before using the hose. The lack of strong odor is also a plus but you still should work with it in a well ventilated area and use a face mask. Just because you can't smell a chemical doesn't mean that it's not still there. I'm convinced that breathing in any chemicals over time will affect your lungs and/or immune system. Better safe than sorry.

This PVC cement works well for new construction or emergency repairs. You can use it on dry PVC pipe or wet pipe that has recently had water in it. I have not tried this cement on pipe that has had oil or other petroleum distillates in it. For water applications such as water well pipes, I highly recommend this PVC cement. I did not use primer with this cement. I did not think it was necessary.

Can't comment on warmth. I don't want to touch it. Not thick. Does set fast though. Held full pressure with 3/4 PVC After 20 minutes. Cost more than local hardware store but it was out of stock.

Great product

I used this to re-pipe my spa. This has a great bond to PVC. I would make sure you have all of the PVC cut and fit to your specs before you apply this. I dries very fast and you will not be able to readjust anything after only a minute or two. I kept the panels off of my spa for the first several days as the water was circulating through that way I could catch any leaks. I did not notice any leaks at the seams and joints. I placed this cement in the receiving end and around the edges of the connecting end to assure a good seal. A combination of the quality of this cement and my attention to detail gave me perfect results the first time. It was easy to open when it first arrived, was not glued shut as some have experienced. Just make sure to simply wipe off excess cement from the lip of the can before you finish so you don't have trouble opening it again later. The instructions say it can last up to three years before it solidifies in the can, just make sure to take care of any unused portions.

If you are working on PVC that has had water in it (been used), or is near water - you need this. I've don't many pool repairs using other brands/types and they always leak due to not dealing properly. This stuff is magic, but it sets up extremely fast!

Be careful. This product did not work well for me joining 3/4" PVC parts and I now have a tiny seepage of about a drop a minute. I followed directions carefully and guess I will live with the seepage, which is in an unimportant part of my swimming pool water make up plumbing. This adhesive seems to be thinner than other PVC adhesives I have used. I have tossed the can so that I am not tempted to use it again.

Product was delivered with the cap glued shut. Impossible for me to open and use. Ended wasting my time and money
