Has anyone been able to...

Stop a slight weep on a solvent weld fitting? I would just cut this out but it is on a short soil pipe boss connector and if cutting it out and replacing means changing a lot.

Cheers

Denso tape , proper bodge job but works

Use a heat gun gently and it can be removed, cleaned & replaced. Done it many times.

Try stabbing at the joint with a loaded brush of solvent weld to get some in there (jab along line of pipe, into end of fitting).
Then blob some on a bit of spare pipe and when it goes that toffee consistency scrap a bit off and work it into the joint.

Much easier method, just use some stixall or ct1 of the appropriate colour.

Thanks guys.

I tried the stabbing method with weld which helped but not fully. Was going to go for some LSX but will go for some stixall instead.

Don't think the dense will go down well with the BCO when inspecting.

I've heard this said about Denso few times on here. Never used it but in my mind if it genuinely works it's only a bodge if you can see it. Otherwise it's a solution. May have to give some a go some point.

Any tricks /tips to applying it / anything it won't work on (i'm guessing nothing at pressure)?

Pardon me, but why use that sort of stuff when you can do it properly?
To use it in this instance only means you put off the inevitable - doing it properly. Unfortunately though the customer is never going to ask anyone back who's job has failed a little while down the road...

They should do though.

I used it on a 6 inch soil pipe the rubber seal had gone so put a couple wraps of denso around it until i could get the soil pipe.

Completely forget about it ,was on for few years before i went back for another job. Their it was bone dry, probably last longer than the crappy rubber seals tbh

Or make your own!
Collect up all the uPVC pipe cuttings (swarf), make sure it is clean & not contaminated with dirt. Make a little pile mix it well with a good amount of solvent weld until in melts into a paste the quickly apply with a stick or blade.
It has worked for me & better than £18 worth & returning to site.

Well, now that's a good amount of replies. Went with the stixall innthe end. Seems to have done the job.

If I have to do it again, (hopefully not) I will try Chris' Method.
