Re: [ATM] glue

["Richard Schwartz" <richas@earthlink.net>]

Since PVC pipe is commonly used by plumbers, you should find out what glue 
THEY use to join two pipes together.  In a country like India, there should 
be plenty of skilled plumbers who maintain the toilets in the nuclear weapon 
and and missile factories.    The glue I have seen is blue in colour and is 
commonly available at Home Depot stores in Canada and California.  No 
special treatment, just brush it on, join the pipes with a coupler or tee or 
whatever, and they will stick immediately.
