Unfortunately there is no proven way to remove primer once it has stained a surface.
Unfortunately, we cannot recommend our primer for use with another brands cement. We would suggest contacting the manufacture of the cement for their recommendations.
Yes, it has separated and is probably too old to use. Mike
You will have to look at the date code on the bottom of the can. The first two numbers are the year. It is good for 3 years. The color of the product does not affect the performance of it.
Primer would only be used on smooth pipe fittings. Primer softens the PVC to help cement bond better. Primer could affect the rigidity of the threads and should not be used on them.
Yes, as long as you use a spray paint intended for plastic. I always paint exposed pvc otherwise it becomes brittle from sunlight.
Please contact technical@oatey.com with a detailed description of your application.
Yes. My experience with PVC primers has been that they can leak out of the can if the can is not in the upright position.
ALWAYS! Probably because the primer is so thin it evaporates quickly. I always tighten the cap with a pair of channellocks.
Yes - That has happened to me in the past as well.
When opening the can initially, you want to be careful not to over-grab (if using pliers) because this can slightly oblong the lid and affect the seal which can lead to a leaking can. If using pliers or channel locks you need to just grab the teeth of the lid just enough to be able to turn and loosen. These lids are on tight from the factory so nothing spills during shipment.
you are the only one i have heard of with this problem im not sure how has happened but when you first open a can of primer and use pliers to help open it puts a small dent in the lid -???? you can wrap teflon tape on the threads then put on the lid snug this should stop leaks hope this helps
Once you apply the primer to the pipe and fitting surfaces you should allow at least 10 to 15 seconds before applying the cement. The entire process of assembling the joint should be completed within 5 minutes of the time that the primer is applied to the pipe and fitting surfaces.
The 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.
