EDIT: Went with the eBay one. No, as PVC tape contains plasticisers (same as in cable) to make it soft, the result would be a soft adhesive, plus the risk that the plasticisers may well stop a good bond from forming.

Fair point. Though there's PVC tape and PVC tape. Pet hate is switched lives marked with a big chunk of cheap, sticky red tape that's gone all gooey or mods under the dash where someone has redone the loom in cheap, nasty black tape.

B&Q sell "electrical tape" that is especially designed to turn into a sticky mess within 6 months................ The odd thing is that Screwfix (who are B&Q in disguise) sell pretty reasonable electrical tape that doesn't seem to go soft and goey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Well.....I might as well put the two 67.5deg & two 11.25deg solvent weld bends back on eBay 'cos in pairs or using one of each I can't make the connection between the Geberit pipe (well, Peter's donated 90/110 elbow) and horizontal, brown soil. Swinging past two Screwfixs' later to get a couple of 135deg solvent jobbies. Will have spent about £50 trying to figure this joint. Hopefully these or some combo with what I've already got will sort it. All to avoid rubber seals behind the wall. Peace of mind I hope! (I knew I should have drawn it in 3D on CAD first! ) Edited February 24, 2017 by Onoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 At last! Two 135o solvent weld fittings should give the 50mm offset. So it'll be the one rubber seal where the black 110mm goes in then 3 solvent joints to the brown soil. At least I now know how far back to cut the soil. That paste came too: .....and the bits "for stock" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 In the absence of any MEK for cleaning these pvc joints before solvent welding I've got the choice of: Multi Solve White Spirit Meths Vodka Meths best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Think @Nickfromwales said MS can leave a greasy residue whereas meths is sometimes better Im not sure getting your cat to drink Vodka is a good idea?? Hmmm so is their marketing spell bolocks then? Removes adhesives, sealants, oil, grease, silicon, wax, tar, paraffin, printing ink etc. Leaves no oil film. Fast, thorough and safe degreasing and cleaning. Can be used on painted surfaces, vinyl, glass,rubber and plastics.

Fast, thorough and safe degreasing and cleaning. Can be used on painted surfaces, vinyl, glass,rubber and plastics. The cat used to get large ticks burrowing into his head just in front of his ears. Seemingly if you just pull them out the bits that "lock in" stay there and become infected. We used to soak the areas with vodka on a cotton bud then tweezer them out intact. The byproduct was that the cat would then wash himself.....slightly sleepy cat thereafter. Once did one the same way on the dog's nose, left a damn great hole! It was @Nickfromwales on Jan 7 suggested meths after the Multisolve: And @PeterStarck reckoned meths over white spirit around the same time due to leaving a residue.

Nickfromwales Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Yup, but only M-S if there's any excess crap to remove, like old silicone etc . If it's a relatively clean pipe then Meths will do the job on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a relatively clean pipe then Meths will do the job on its own. Ta. Got to shorten the soil roughly to "X". More of a worry is the expanding foam on the pipe though tbh it's not adhered to the pipe that well...if at all. Assuming just a good sanding will get rid of that. I'll MS then meths everything TWICE as I might have got some silicon spray on something where I've been experimenting with push fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
