I installed an external soil pipe, however the 4" solvent weld connected is leaking, tried to wipe more glue on but still weeping. I'll be taking out and renewing but there's a lot to take out then replace, do any of you have any sensible suggestions or know any product that will fix?? Cheers
 
Anything you use will only be a temporary repair.....you can try solvent weld gap filler but it really needs to be dry to work best of luck regards Turnpin:yes:
 
yea if I ever have a solvent weld leak, I use a digital heat gun on low setting to warm it all up nicely and then bang a bit more glue in.
if the joint is a small one, you can easily separate it completely.
