You need to identify the material. The stuff based on polyurethane had some
wonderful glue called urethane bond made I think by Dow Corning, but not
seen it lately. I assume this is feeding something of yours and not somebody
elses?
If its bodged the people it feeds will not be best pleased.

Son (despair, despair) has put a fork through an underground water pipe.
He says the fountain was spectacular.

I remember the pipe in question - it is black and looks like ptfe, and
will have been installed in the '60's. When we had a previous leak at a
short exposed link, we found that the pipe was not a standard size and I
seem to remember finding a farming supplier in Wales who had some fittings
or adaptors, but I have no note of who or where they were. Somewhere near
Ruthin, I think.

For this reason we are loathe to cut and join the pipe. He was wondering
if there was some sort of adhesive that we could apply and then bind with
gaffer or other tape.

I found something online called Universal repair pack from Five Star
Adhesives in Runcorn, aka Starlok, but their site is out of date and when
I tried to make a Tinyurl, I got a refusal and warning of a spammed site
at

http://www.shop4glue.com/universal-g...r-pack-metal-a
ll-plastics-ptfe-polyethylene-polypropylene-silicone-81-p.asp

Has anyone any experience of this or similar product? Or trying to fix a
pipe in this way?
