5 Common Solvent Welding Mistakes | Oatey

Good technique is important to getting a good solid joint including:
1) Full coverage with glue with no dry spots.
2) Full insertion with no backout.
3) Allowing plenty of time to cure.
4) good pipe fit.
5) No burrs.
In my opinion, allowing overnight to dry is always better than pressurizing the same day.
It is not necessary, but worthwhile if you can do it without too much trouble or cost.
