I'm mid project, and I have to make a solvent weld joint for a waste
trap. I normally use push fit stuff ... so no solvent glue in the house. Will acetone, or nail varnish remover work? |

The message
from John Rumm contains these words: thinners Because we all buy a can and then only find something useful to do with it every ten years! ;-) It's good for shifting graffiti. -- Skipweasel Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. |

That's interesting to know. How long do you think it might be available? CFC's might see it banned within the next 'very few years'. Dave I work at a school and graffiti is something that I have problems with (getting rid of the offensive words, before 5 to 11 years old read/see them.) |
