How do you repair a small puncture hole from a nail in PVC pressure water pipe embedded in cement flooring?
If the hole is clear of the concrete get a little bit of pipe 25mm or an inch and cut it along the length so that you have a ring that opens up. Get some PVC primer and PVC solvent cement . use the primer to clean the outside of the pipe with the hole in it and the inside of the patch. put solvent cement on the pipe around where the patch is going. stretch the ring so it opens up and covers the hole and hold it in place. you can do this with a suitable hose clamp. wait a couple of hours before use. if you can reach the inside of the pipe you can use a similar procedure,
How long PVC solvent cement take to dry?
Less than a minute. Make sure you dryfit the pvc fittings to ensure everything is where you want it. Slather on purple primer, then slather on the cement and twist it on and hold it for 30 seconds until it sets. In less than a minute you won't be able to move it.
Can you repair a bicycle tire with PVC cement vice contact cement?
You can repair small punctures with PVC cement, but the results will not be optimal. To repair a tire (inner tube), you need a solvent that will disolve a bit of the top layer of the rubber tube and the bottom layer of the patch. Then, as the solvent dries, the two, together with the added rubber in the rubber cement, become one. this gives a strong, flexible, air tight seal. The solvents in PVC cement fill the bill for disolving the rubber. But instead of a flexible rubber base, it's relatively inflexible PVC. Your repair will be air tight, but far less flexible than it would be with rubber cement. This may, in the long term, lead to stress failure at the edge of your patch.
Is there anything that will dissolve plumbers glue from a shower that has been glued to the metal pipe?
This is quite confusing. -If you mean "plumbers glue that has been glued to the metal pipe" as opposed to "a shower that has been glued to a metal pipe" , then it's a little easier. -Any plumbers glue, be it ABS, PVC or CPVC glue, or Transition cement can be peeled off metal pipe.In future PLEASE say what exactly you mean by "metal pipe" - copper, - galvanised, or which other metal, and please -Name your glue - Most plumbers commonly use at least 4 different glues.
