Just wondering what the best cement/glue/adhesive would be to use:
It's for 2" clear poly pipe into 2" sch 40 PVC fittings. Not much info out there. For RDWC with no real pressure....
1. Regular clear pvc cement/primer?: I honestly don't think it will weld pvc with the clear poly.. might seal it up fine though?
2. Plastic 2 party epoxy?: Should hold good right? I've seen epoxies pop right off plexi-glass like nothing..
3. 100% Silicone: I mean hey, its holding my 45 gallon fish tank together NP. Infact, who says I couldn't glue every piece of PVC fittings/pipes on the whole system together with a tube of silicone?
Then I could break it down easier, or change things out without unions, if i wanted to.
4. Some expensive specialised acrylic composite adhesive that cost me an arm? Which one? I actually have tons of leftover solid surface (corian) 2 part adhesive cartidges from jobs, but we're talking plumbing here, not fabricating counter-tops.
5. ?
I'm mostly worried how nutrients ,acids, etc, could break down whatever I use after time.
