use baby oil or any other mineral oil. It works great. Happy clean hands.
Yes, 711 cement should do it.
It is a type of glue used for gluing pipes together... (not the type of cement in concrete).
There is cement on the market that claims this. It's called PVCGIT Clear PVC cement. -I'm a little sceptical and would like to find some and try it.
Yes.
No, it won't stick to most PVC. Oatey's Transition Cement and most epoxies will work IF the PVC is dry.
No PVC cement can not be used on cpvc pipe. Cpvc and PVC pipe have different chemical compositions so a cement made for one will not work for the other. The process of joining plastic piping together is called solvent welding and the use of the wrong formulation will result in an inferior weld
If the coping is made out of cement as well, VERY carefully use a sanding block to remove the cement spots, repainting will probably be necessary unless you have the hands of a surgeon.
You throw away the old parts and replace them.
Use teflon tape with a little pipe dope. If you don't ever have to take apart again then you can use glue which you are calling cement
No, copper pipes need to either be soldered, or connected with compression fittings. PVC cement will not bond with copper and provide a "solvent weld", it would be a very weak connection.
100 PSI.
My skimmer is cracked on the side were the strainer basket fits. I used first PVC Primer & then PVC Cement. Its not leaking. These 2 small cans come packaged togaether. I got it at Home Depot.
