Do you mind if it leaks?Â* Yes, you get a better joint if you do it the
right way.

I used to think that until I read Vic's reference.

Have to agree. The figures on the 24 hour test were amazingly close on
all.

This was for drain connections, not pressure, but I doubt pressure would
make any real difference on a good joint.

I always just use sandpaper to clean the PVC before using cement.
But my experience with PVC is limited to sump pump lines.
I wouldn't use it on anything else.
