Thats what I said to the girl

Yeah but first it was a bit of tiger seal. Then it was get the boss off Now it’s cut the (expletive deleted)er out ! Me no likey 🫤

I sent a photo to a plumbing company … They suggested that if it is welded almost no chance of getting it off . So , cut out a section of the main drain would be easier …. See ! It’s becoming more and more work !

Well that’s it isn’t it . Start removing this and it’s a one way ticket to fun . Hence me ‘thinking’ about it a lot first …

Google suggests a multi tool and cut it out - then sand /file around the hole ( guess it would now have a good key ) . Often the cement as @Onoff mentioned gets used . Think that gives a better seal rather than runny thin glue . As the 2nd wrongly placed boss looks definitely like it’s been tiger sealed ; I’ll assume this one also .

I probably used tiger seal because it gives me more than 7 seconds of play . I had problems before on other pipework where it was impossible to solvent weld conventionally - just can’t get it all in and lined up in those 7 seconds .

This is what I’m wondering . I can’t remember if welded and then tiger seal when it leaked OR just tiger seal ( so would come off )

Does this dry in 7 seconds like normal solvent glue ?

Hang on ! It was welded ( I think ) - then gunked . I might be wrong was some years ago … 🙄 If welded and gunked will it come off nicely ??? 🤔

I did do it right first time. It was just that its life span was 2 years....

Yep. I'll hear that 'drip' at some point in the future for sure......

🙃 I'll prepare a big list of jobs for you! Seriously; very kind offer of you @joe90

You really want me to do this don’t you ! 🤣 I’ll tiger seal it again . Then when it leaks again I’ll get a plumber in to do it ; will tell him some cowboy (expletive deleted)ed it up !

Filled up the sink . Let it all go in one ; so pump is busy . Ran round , up ladder - watched . Saw 1 drip - couldn’t see exactly where it came from . As this has been fine for 2 yrs I think it is the pump causing the pipe to vibrate / thud and hence weakening any seal . Could ( once I’ve smeared more tiger seal round the joint ) maybe clamp the white waste pipe to something to restrict any ‘bump’ movement

I caulk . Then when it cracks find the smallest narrowest trim I can and stick that up
