    CT1 or HA6

    I need to seal round a solvent weld joint as there is quite a reasonable gap left after gluing in a bit of pipe. Is it better to use CT1 or HA6? HA6 is half the price of CT1. It doesn't have to hold the pipe as that is already fixed it's just for peace of mind and make it look a bit better more than anything I suppose.

    OK thanks Andi. I know you used it and rated it. What did you prefer about CT1 compared to HA6?

    Ha6 is good for useing as a gasket but not great for sticking.

    No experience with ct1 but I know pu18 is great at sticking plastic to plastic.
    If there is a gap why not just put some more solvent in,rub the brush against the joint.
