Questions & Answers
What is the best way to remove if spilled on concrete?
Asked by Mannan April 8, 2016I would say this purple primer permanently stains concrete and anything else it is spilled on. I am not aware of a proven or quick way to remove the stains in concrete. I would expect to see traces of the stain after pressure washing, scrubbing, or any other method or product you attempt to use to remove the stain. Sanding can help, but that is removing the concrete. I have seen quite a few accidents with this purple primer, and I have seen a lot of people trying to clean up a spill, but I have never seen anyone completely remove a stain from concrete. It is important to protect anything that could get stain damage, including your clothes and shoes. The clear primer will leave a clear stain instead of a purple one. The draw back is that you or an inspector can't see it on the pipe or fittings.

Asked by Billcarprob July 9, 2019This stuff is very permanent on most plastics. The only other thing I would try is Lacquer Thinner, but only try where it will not do any damage, first. Good Luck.
when using Purple Primer, how long do i wait before using the Oatey PVC Cement. on a 2" washer drainpipe at 92°?
Asked by AAImprovements August 25, 2019The primer dries right away. We applied the cement immediately after applying the primer. We have no leaks, pipes haven't slipped off of one another, no problems whatsoever.
