I am taking a chemistry course and i am wondering what purpose quot;PVC Resinquot; serves and how it achieves that purpose?
i dont know all of the chemistry stuff, but the resin melts the plastic of the pipes, you stick them together, then the plastic from the joined pipes dries, and the pipes are now fused together
PVC primer and cement is going to be your only sure bond. It essentially welds the pipe and fitting together. Epoxy is only going to glue the surfaces together, and with the tolerances of the pipe and fitting it may be hard to get a complete bond, leaving yourself vulnerable to a failure and possibly injury or death during use (depending on pressures and such). Even at lower pressures a piping fracture can be devastating. For the record, plumber's putty provides no adhesive properties whatsoever. It merely fills any voids in joints held by other means, such as sink drains. Why not just use PVC cement? If you don't want to buy a huge container they do sell smaller ones, and if you ask around you may find a friend or relative who already has some you can use.
