Has any modern day alchemists tried and succeeded to reconstitute PVC cement which got wet. THis is probably hard as it involves a complex chemical reaction with water which might be very difficult to drive backwards.

But then, I am sure that I am not the only one who has had this happen.





Once it has lost key components, it is not a matter of just adding

something back in. Many products, once cure, are not reversible. Toss

it and you can be sure with fresh cement you will have proper joints

too!

Maybe it's just me, but I've never had PVC cement get water in it.
And I've also never had a large enough can of it where it's even worth
contemplating trying to resurrect it if it did.
