Bad idea for a repair. Hours of work to repair a one dollar fitting. Broken PVC fittings are cheap, fast, and easy to replace. This takes far longer than fixing it the right way and this may still leak. I was a landscape contractor for years and did these repairs as part of my job. The only situation this makes sense is if replacement is impossible due to access, like the pipe is partly embedded in concrete, then this may be the easiest fix. This is clever but impractical. Also, this fitting has a portion gouged out forming a hole, but the fitting is not cracked. For most broken PVC fitting repairs, the fitting is cracked as well, and this will not work on a cracked fitting. This is like trying to fix a burned out light bulb by replacing the filament instead of buying a new bulb.
As someone who worked on sprinkler and drip systems for many years, I found that the best way to fix a broken fitting or pipe is to replace it with the proper new part.
That's some valuable expertise you have there! Have you ever encountered any unique or challenging situations while working on sprinkler and drip systems, and how did you handle them? Your experience could be insightful for others in the field.
You wouldn't know the tip, if he just replaced it. Try using the search box and type in (replace a broken pipe) if that's what you want to see. The subject matter is very clear to see in the title. Where's the confusion for you.?
I see this same type comment on every how to fix a leak on a fitting , a hole in the pipe or the how to remove a glued fitting. These type vids on YT are for emergency situations. For instance you don't have any spare fittings , hardware store is closed etc. I figured your many years of experience and living on this planet , you would have acknowledged that.
Just throwing this out there, another idea that I find that works really well is to replace the fitting that’s leaking. Somewhat faster then what’s going on here.
This could work well for somebody if there's no play in the pipes. Also you lose a lot of pipe when you cut out a T. You'd have to add three couplings and another T.
...while also ignoring health and safety. I'd hate to use the water that comes out of this. Probably toxic from the mess of gunk that's been fed into the pipe.

generally pvc pipe which is primed and cemented together is only used for drain plumbing, so I would hope anyone dumb enough to try this IRL wouldn't be poisoning their water supply
Styrofoam is nothing more than polystyrene and you eat off it all the time. Half your groceries come packed in the stuff. It is harmless. Acetone is an organic compound that quickly dilutes in water and that amount of exposure is meaningless to your health. You are in much more danger from the pipes themselves, which is still negligible.
If you want to make styrofoam glue, just mix it with acetone or gasoline in a pot until the consistency is thicker than honey and pour it down. Much easier than what was done here.
If your over fifty and we’re into crafts this was used for years. We used turpentine and styrofoam. We coated pictures or homemade log clocks. They cover new river tables with resin. This was how we made resin back in old days.
@@travisbickle9357 I had a steel pail and added about a litre of turpentine than added chunks of styrofoam and stirred till a consistency of syrup a little thicker if you want the finish product harder Start of with a cup of turpentine than slowly add styrofoam . Try different consistency and coat a few things and check next day
My grandfather had a Styrofoam farm. I remember harvesting the Styrofoam as a young child. Key is to raise organic heirloom Styrofoam. NOT HMO Styrofoam.
I see a lot of people asking what liquid he used on this repair. It was super glue. Super glue melts styrofoam, and the resulting mix, when dried, is structurally stronger then just the super glue by itself. Also, since this repair was going to an outdoor water source, likely for the yard, I would use this method myself.
Thank you for sharing that information! You are absolutely right. In the repair shown in the video, super glue was used, and when combined with styrofoam, it creates a stronger bond than just using super glue alone. This method can be particularly useful for outdoor water sources as it provides added durability and resistance to weather conditions. I appreciate your insight and contributions to the discussion. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Thank you for being part of our RUclips community!
6 / 6 Thanks for sharing that valuable information! Using super glue to repair and reinforce styrofoam is a clever technique, especially for outdoor water sources like in the yard. The combination of super glue and styrofoam creates a stronger bond that can withstand environmental factors and ensure a more durable repair. It's great to see how people in the community share their tips and experiences with different repair methods. DIY projects often involve creative solutions, and this one seems like a fantastic option for the situation. Keep up the good work on your channel, and thank you for providing useful content and fostering a helpful community. If you have any more tips or ideas to share, feel free to share them with your audience. Happy repairing! 😊
Along the same lines why not make some PVC "sawdust" by cutting scrap pvc over and over again with a power (or eve hand) saw then sweep the "saw dust" into a container and use THAT as your aggregate to mix with the super glue? I also woner if epoxy might be stronger?
I can see that you don't know much about these area's you must be city folk😂here we don't buy acetone in the hardware store but, at local small stores. I'm talking about the PVC PIPES and JOINTS.😃for those we have to travel a little bit further.

In rural Russia we use baking soda + "super glue" of any kind with cyanoacrylate. Polimerization is practically instant, adhesion to PVC is robust for this kind of fix.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, this is very valuable knowledge for me. With what you share I believe I can do things better, keep giving me more advice! Wishing you good health, success and happiness!

What they did was use asitone to melt styraphome and use it while it was soft to patch and cover cracks asitone and styraphome make a great combo to do a lot of plastic tricks I use this method to make custom plastic parts as it alows you to make most any shape and then ounce the asitone has evaporated it becomes solid and as they showed here you just sand it with sand paper and paint or as they glue a cover to match pipe Great video!

I have to say that it’s easy to make crappy comments about how much easy it is to go to the store, but I live on a boat and I find this very helpful, don’t get me wrong because as soon as I am able to, I will go to the store and purchase the correct item but as a quick fix it’s great! I do however carry spares but how many spares should I carry 😂

Poisoning you're water supply slowly... don't do it. just carry 1 or 2 rolls of garden hose(potable variety) and some hose clamps(gear clamp). Figure out what you're line size is, have enough to fix anything 1000 times over. SAFELY (Walkerton E. coli outbreak)
I wouldn’t use this for more than a temporary fix until I could get to the plumbing store for the t joint. I hope everyone looks at it that way as well. Only an emergency type temporary fix. Cheers.

FYI: Polystyrene or styrofoam is a known hazardous waste which when improperly disposed of can leach hazardous chemicals into ground water & drinking water…
most likely acetone. it's used to dissolve most foams. but the acetone will evaporate like alcohol so what remains is just a condensed paste version of what was being melted. i used it once to see if i could make a putty, wasn't successful but i learned a lot from that.
Идея хорошая. Можно растворить в стеклянной баночке пенопласт в ацетоне, густота такая чтобы не стекал добавить коллер цвета трубы и аккуратно замазать дырку.
Без вашего комментария ценность этого видео равна нулю, ибо ни слова в нём не говорится о том, чем растворяется пенопласт. Кому нужна эта музыка без слов?
It is a GREAT idea!!! It isn't the $1 Fitting --- it is the time it takes to cut out and replace any fitting in the middle of a fixed run. Thanks for the work-around!!

Hello and thank you for visiting my channel! you're so kind to leave me a comment! I put super glue on the foam! Is there super glue where you live? If you have any good ideas please share them with me! Wishing you a safe and happy holiday!
Doctors use super glue to hold skin together if you have a cut, and you drink out of styrofoam cups so I wouldn’t think it’s too toxic. Copper pipes often have lead soldered connections and many older homes still have copper plumbing., that is something to think about. So long as this fix holds well, it should be fine. It might be useful for someone who isn’t close to a hardware store.
Check this out in my boxing gym working on footwork destroy the bottom of your foot coach used to recommend super glue aswell and it actually works my friend was a ballerina and she also knew about that super glue tip and heard of it in her practices but never actually thought it was real I think sprinters runners could follow the same system
@@ANewEvilRising I know lead isn’t used now, I was talking about older houses where plumbing is done with old methods. In some very old homes they actually used lead pipes , but hopefully they have been replaced with copper or plastic by now. 🙂🙂
@@lindahoward3410 I have yet to see a house with full on lead pipes but there's definitely still older homes with copper soldered using lead based solder
@@ANewEvilRising I was born in 1949 in England, my Dad was a plumber and I can assure you that lead plumbing did exist. Just like lead paint, once it was recognized as being a hazard, people got rid of it.
I like how the majority of people are like just replace it. Whereas the purpose of the video is showing how to fix something in the event you need to get it done if you don't have the required replacements to do so. Invaluable knowledge if everything goes bad.
It’s because this video doesn’t have any narration saying this isn’t a permanent fix,and there are cheapskates and idiots out there who will see this and Jerry rig something rather than repairing it properly only to have it fail again. The likelihood that anyone living in a civilized part of the world would not be able to got to a hardware store and would need to half ass something like this is extremely remote. Most hardware stores are open until 10pm and you can just shut the water off until the next morning and buy the part and repair it properly the next day.
@@Suddenlyits1960 ....I live 60 miles frpm the nearest hardwsre store. Open your mind up a little and realize your experience isn't the same as everyone elses.
What had me worried watching this is how much styrofoam was melted into that cut/crack. Could make a problem worse by creating a blockage with all the melted styrofoam that is now inside the pvc tee.
I spent a lot of years plumbing, do it right the first time, and yes there is more than just glue in your drinking water from your home being built. Fix pvc with the proper glue/ cleaner and fittings. This fix is for the last resort bad spot, but I do appreciate the labour of love.

Probably blocked the inside of the T quite a lot with the excess. Might be better to cover it over with a glued piece of pvc. Then seal up the edges of the patch. That way none of it gets inside. ..

@@92kosta you don't have to use it for drinking water. I still find the idea of using styrofoam as glue interesting and for some problems might be a viable solution even if here it may not be the best option.
Seems like a lot of extra work versus just buying $3 JB Weld Putty. I also suspect the JB weld putty would hold significantly more pressure in the pipe versus this.
Esa iba a ser mi pregunta...eso no será altamente tóxico?? Para otros usos igual vale, pero para agua??? Y en el caso del bicarbonato, al llevar superglue...no será igualmente tóxico? Gracias

Do I understand you correctly? You say that you painted your house with a color that normally fades, then brushed on a acetone melted Styrofoam glaze, which is invisible with no weirdness added to the appearance of the paint job. Then, the paint job has showed zero signs of any fading or other degradation for 10 years? 1. Is this correct? 2. What color? 3. What minor appearance changes happened immediately after using the Styrofoam glaze, and what minor changes in appearance happened over the next few years? 4. How much did it cost you extra per 100 sq feet, or 3x3 meter squared. 5. Where was this house? What is the latitude and climate? 6. To which direction was the front of the house facing - North, South, East, or, West? 7. Did you leave a control area (unglazed) no treated on the critical sides of the house that you are impressed with, and how did those areas fade? 8. What was the exact brand + grade + paint sheen of paint that you used before you Styrofoam glazed it? If you can tell us too about the chemistry, it might be helpful (acrylic, vinyl). 9. What is the history of the the past paint jobs? Color, fade, etc. 10. What surface preparation tools (psi, tips, chemicals, sanding tools, speed of the tool, grit and resin type of the sandpaper, primer steps? This question is the least relevant, since the surface preparation is not going to affect the fade of the pigment. Only chalking paints, over a chalking finish, might fade less due to a slower chalking rate. However, chalking paints have been discontinued for 2 or 3 decades, because people did not understand that chalking eliminates peeling at the expense of limiting the paint job to 10 years and chalk washing down onto the foundation or lower brick. A chalking paint will develop gradual ghosting as it ages. It requires tsp and a focused big power washer for the repaint to get all of the necessary chalk off before recoating, every 10 years. But this avoids a basket case of paint chips and 3 of blasting followed by 3 days of sanding, followed by 3 days of resurfacing with a primer and spot patching, every 14,18, 21 or 28, years, depending on how much condensation comes from inside the house (insulation, oil primed interior walls, bathroom ventilation, gutter leaks, plumbing leaks, storms on the windows in the winter, vent plugs in the siding) .
@@ВладимирАндреев-у3ш you are asking, I believe, if his glaze makes the house any cooler in the summer. In engineering science terms, we are talking about emissivity, which is the rate for which a paint absorbs and releases infrared radiation, which will impact the summer and winter temperature gained or lost. His Styrofoam is melted and will not offer the traditional Styrofoam insulation, which is not due to the polymer, but rather the air bubbles trapped in the traditional Styrofoam polymer. This is why a huge piece of Styrofoam melts into a tiny amount of Styrofoam glue. Mostly air. My bet is that the paint color and sheen will affect this. The micro layer of Styrofoam glaze is not thick enough to add significant conduction insulation. It would change the sheen. In theory, a Shiney paint will not absorb as much radiation, but will also not release it. What I have observed is that in the summer, the Shiney paint is going to be overwhelmed by the hot sun and cannot release it quickly enough, and the water based paints begin to self strip in a matter of minutes after the glossy paint is applied over a tight flat paint on a hot direct sunny summer day. This leads to a ton of instant bubbles the size of usa quarters all over the house side. The Styrofoam glaze should definitely change the sheen, but I don't know, because I have yet to try it out... I might try it out on a dormer side, where the paint sits against the ice and snow and usually does not last more than 5 years at the most. And isn't that visible and I can play with a pattern for the control against the experiment. Will need to research the polymers in Styrofoam.
Это не секрет, а не делают так, потому, что получающийся в результате растворения пенопласта (пенополиуретана)в ацетоне уретан представляет из себя яд первого класса опасности.

I appreciate your feedback! You're right that using M-seal can be a quicker solution for some tasks. However, I like to explore different methods in my videos to give people options based on their preferences and resources. It's all about finding the right balance between cost, time, and effectiveness. Have you had any experiences, good or bad, using M-seal or similar products for DIY projects?
@@tipsunknow I've use hot glue, 2 part permanent metal & plastic repair glue, m-seal, PV-seal, and also used the same type of cpvc pipe by melting it using soldering iron 😅... Out of all these, hot glue was the least durable... Melting a similar pipe was cheapest because I got the piece of pipe for free.. Metal and plastic repair glue was the most expensive but permanent tension free solution, m-seal was the fastest, easiest, cheapest and durable enough solution!
This method could be applied to other situations. I have just broken a side mirror on a golf cart. It broke at the plastic part of the mounting. I used epoxy to put it back in place and I wonder if it could be bolstered using superglue and polystyrene foam. The point where the joint snapped off was structurally weak.
Certainly, you can try combining super glue and polystyrene foam to reinforce the strength and durability of the connection. It may help keep the side mirror stable and safer. However, be sure to carry out this process carefully and meticulously to ensure the stability and safety of the side mirror. Good luck with the repair!

Very good: Do you think this will work with the kitchen drain pipe on the base of the P trap? What glue are you using? What do you think of using putty?
I appreciate your interest! The method shown in the video might work for the kitchen drain pipe, but it's essential to choose the right materials. The glue used should be suitable for the type of pipes you're working with, and it's a good idea to follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Regarding putty, it can be used for sealing joints in plumbing, but it's typically applied around threads and connections to prevent leaks. The choice between glue and putty depends on the specific situation and the type of pipes and fittings you're working with. Always ensure that the materials you use are compatible with your plumbing system. If you have more details about your project, feel free to share, and I can provide more specific advice!
Cool video... Just wondering if the styrofoam would have a chemical reaction with the pvc pipe ... As cables should not be in contact with polystyrene (styrofoam) for this reason....

Bad idea for a repair. Hours of work to repair a one dollar fitting. Broken PVC fittings are cheap, fast, and easy to replace. This takes far longer than fixing it the right way and this may still leak. I was a landscape contractor for years and did these repairs as part of my job. The only situation this makes sense is if replacement is impossible due to access, like the pipe is partly embedded in concrete, then this may be the easiest fix. This is clever but impractical. Also, this fitting has a portion gouged out forming a hole, but the fitting is not cracked. For most broken PVC fitting repairs, the fitting is cracked as well, and this will not work on a cracked fitting. This is like trying to fix a burned out light bulb by replacing the filament instead of buying a new bulb.
SS ... But you can use this idea for another fixations... It's just a hack bro.... Best Example.. , in lock Down we didn't get all the required things
@@kasiviswanathanveerannan5828 Very true. There may come a situation that it's the best fix. And it is clever.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ good
A wise man never lift a complain they just watch and observe.
Shhh dude, imagine all the flood repair work this might bring on for the rest of the service contracting bros
As someone who worked on sprinkler and drip systems for many years, I found that the best way to fix a broken fitting or pipe is to replace it with the proper new part.
That's some valuable expertise you have there! Have you ever encountered any unique or challenging situations while working on sprinkler and drip systems, and how did you handle them? Your experience could be insightful for others in the field.
lmao @@tipsunknow
You wouldn't know the tip, if he just replaced it. Try using the search box and type in (replace a broken pipe) if that's what you want to see. The subject matter is very clear to see in the title. Where's the confusion for you.?
I see this same type comment on every how to fix a leak on a fitting , a hole in the pipe or the how to remove a glued fitting. These type vids on YT are for emergency situations. For instance you don't have any spare fittings , hardware store is closed etc. I figured your many years of experience and living on this planet , you would have acknowledged that.
@@3rdEyeGuy66 Well these kinds of issues are usually something you deal with when you know they're going to happen
Just throwing this out there, another idea that I find that works really well is to replace the fitting that’s leaking. Somewhat faster then what’s going on here.
I'm very grateful to you for this, tell me more about your ideas, have a nice day!
That would make an even more boring video lmfso.
But yes just fix it properly would be much faster.
That's just crazy talk. This way you leave a potentially disastrous situation hidden
The only thing that would be more of a waste of time than watching this video, is actually attempting to do this.
This could work well for somebody if there's no play in the pipes. Also you lose a lot of pipe when you cut out a T. You'd have to add three couplings and another T.
Very professional work demonstrated by never mentioning any of the materials used.
Hello . Thank you for watching my video. Have a good day
He clearly didn't understand the context of your comment, but my thought exactly.
...while also ignoring health and safety. I'd hate to use the water that comes out of this. Probably toxic from the mess of gunk that's been fed into the pipe.
No, once it's cured, probably 12 hours or less, it has no more toxic effect on the water than the pipes themselves. It's called plastic.
Not professional in any way, but if you're dumb enough to think that it makes sense, you wouldn't know what Styrofoam, super glue, and scissors are.
Very nice I'm sure acetone and Styrofoam are very safe to drink

Yah, you're not wrong, but fwiw pvc primer is acetone too
generally pvc pipe which is primed and cemented together is only used for drain plumbing, so I would hope anyone dumb enough to try this IRL wouldn't be poisoning their water supply
Styrofoam is nothing more than polystyrene and you eat off it all the time. Half your groceries come packed in the stuff. It is harmless. Acetone is an organic compound that quickly dilutes in water and that amount of exposure is meaningless to your health. You are in much more danger from the pipes themselves, which is still negligible.
Это клей или что
Kewl but what solution is that solution you are using to melt the styrofoam ? Is it superglue or nail polish remover/ acetone?
I think it is gasoline
If you want to make styrofoam glue, just mix it with acetone or gasoline in a pot until the consistency is thicker than honey and pour it down. Much easier than what was done here.
good to know. Can't believe there isn't a reference to the solvent that melts the styrofoam
Gasoline? Are you making Vietnam Era napalm? That's dangerous as hell.
@@speed24601a there are others styrofoam solvents, yet all of them are flammable.
@@speed24601a Thank you for the tipp
If your over fifty and we’re into crafts this was used for years. We used turpentine and styrofoam. We coated pictures or homemade log clocks. They cover new river tables with resin. This was how we made resin back in old days.
Did not know that, thanks!
Good to know!
I remember doing this but it has been a while . . . remind me what the finished consistency is like? Is it pliable or brittle?
@@travisbickle9357 I had a steel pail and added about a litre of turpentine than added chunks of styrofoam and stirred till a consistency of syrup a little thicker if you want the finish product harder Start of with a cup of turpentine than slowly add styrofoam . Try different consistency and coat a few things and check next day
My grandfather had a Styrofoam farm. I remember harvesting the Styrofoam as a young child. Key is to raise organic heirloom Styrofoam. NOT HMO Styrofoam.
I see a lot of people asking what liquid he used on this repair. It was super glue. Super glue melts styrofoam, and the resulting mix, when dried, is structurally stronger then just the super glue by itself. Also, since this repair was going to an outdoor water source, likely for the yard, I would use this method myself.
Thank you for sharing that information! You are absolutely right. In the repair shown in the video, super glue was used, and when combined with styrofoam, it creates a stronger bond than just using super glue alone. This method can be particularly useful for outdoor water sources as it provides added durability and resistance to weather conditions. I appreciate your insight and contributions to the discussion. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Thank you for being part of our RUclips community!

Thanks for sharing that valuable information! Using super glue to repair and reinforce styrofoam is a clever technique, especially for outdoor water sources like in the yard. The combination of super glue and styrofoam creates a stronger bond that can withstand environmental factors and ensure a more durable repair.
It's great to see how people in the community share their tips and experiences with different repair methods. DIY projects often involve creative solutions, and this one seems like a fantastic option for the situation.
Keep up the good work on your channel, and thank you for providing useful content and fostering a helpful community. If you have any more tips or ideas to share, feel free to share them with your audience. Happy repairing! 😊
i thought it was acetone that melts styrofoam
@@webdevca Acetone works also
Along the same lines why not make some PVC "sawdust" by cutting scrap pvc over and over again with a power (or eve hand) saw then sweep the "saw dust" into a container and use THAT as your aggregate to mix with the super glue? I also woner if epoxy might be stronger?
I live in a remote area of South America where it's not so easy to find a hardware store, I love this.
Thank you very much for sharing👍🏾
If a hardware store is difficult to find I can only imagine how difficult it would be to find a supply of acetone. Good luck.
I can see that you don't know much about these area's you must be city folk😂here we don't buy acetone in the hardware store but, at local small stores.
I'm talking about the PVC PIPES and JOINTS.😃for those we have to travel a little bit further.

@@robbysieben3117 you make far more assumptions than I. If you're truly rural you wouldn't need to get it from the store.
In rural Russia we use baking soda + "super glue" of any kind with cyanoacrylate. Polimerization is practically instant, adhesion to PVC is robust for this kind of fix.

Maybe the Russians should use that remedy in your Assualt Rifle barrels to stop the attack on Ukraine. Just an idea.
What they did was use asitone to melt styraphome and use it while it was soft to patch and cover cracks asitone and styraphome make a great combo to do a lot of plastic tricks I use this method to make custom plastic parts as it alows you to make most any shape and then ounce the asitone has evaporated it becomes solid and as they showed here you just sand it with sand paper and paint or as they glue a cover to match pipe Great video!

It's great to know about Styrofoam hack, however it takes to too long, you should just replace it with another " T" to save time and it's much easier.
FYI: Polystyrene or styrofoam is a known hazardous waste which when improperly disposed of can leach hazardous chemicals into ground water & drinking water…
Styrofoam cups..lol
That must be why there are so many styrofoam cups! Wow! Those people are trying to kill us!
Boss can I know what liquid u use to Soften the SYTROFOAM ?
Did u get reply?,,,, i would like to know
I also would like to know it.
looks good, what liquid did u use to melt the styrofoam?
most likely acetone. it's used to dissolve most foams. but the acetone will evaporate like alcohol so what remains is just a condensed paste version of what was being melted. i used it once to see if i could make a putty, wasn't successful but i learned a lot from that.

Doctors use super glue to hold skin together if you have a cut, and you drink out of styrofoam cups so I wouldn’t think it’s too toxic. Copper pipes often have lead soldered connections and many older homes still have copper plumbing., that is something to think about. So long as this fix holds well, it should be fine. It might be useful for someone who isn’t close to a hardware store.
Check this out in my boxing gym working on footwork destroy the bottom of your foot coach used to recommend super glue aswell and it actually works my friend was a ballerina and she also knew about that super glue tip and heard of it in her practices but never actually thought it was real I think sprinters runners could follow the same system
I don't think lead is used for soldering anymore. Lead free soldier (95.5) is used for soldering copper together now
@@ANewEvilRising I know lead isn’t used now, I was talking about older houses where plumbing is done with old methods. In some very old homes they actually used lead pipes , but hopefully they have been replaced with copper or plastic by now. 🙂🙂
@@lindahoward3410 I have yet to see a house with full on lead pipes but there's definitely still older homes with copper soldered using lead based solder
@@ANewEvilRising I was born in 1949 in England, my Dad was a plumber and I can assure you that lead plumbing did exist. Just like lead paint, once it was recognized as being a hazard, people got rid of it.

I like how the majority of people are like just replace it. Whereas the purpose of the video is showing how to fix something in the event you need to get it done if you don't have the required replacements to do so. Invaluable knowledge if everything goes bad.
It’s because this video doesn’t have any narration saying this isn’t a permanent fix,and there are cheapskates and idiots out there who will see this and Jerry rig something rather than repairing it properly only to have it fail again.
The likelihood that anyone living in a civilized part of the world would not be able to got to a hardware store and would need to half ass something like this is extremely remote. Most hardware stores are open until 10pm and you can just shut the water off until the next morning and buy the part and repair it properly the next day.

Probably blocked the inside of the T quite a lot with the excess. Might be better to cover it over with a glued piece of pvc. Then seal up the edges of the patch. That way none of it gets inside.

Instead of using super glue on styrofoam (which causes nasty fumes) you could of easily used compression tape made for leaks
pretty sure that's acetone.
Yea or just fixed it the right way in less time.

In this case, it looks like it's difficult or even impossible to use compression tape due to the wall. No clearance for wrapping the tape. And compression tape requires some stretching before wrapping as well.
might actually be useful as a pvc pipe joint sealant but I would only use it externally. Might also work for leaking gutter joins.

hello and thank you very much for your comment. you are very kind person to leave a comment for me. My dream is to help make our world a better place with breakthrough ideas! So if you have any other better ideas or solutions, please share them with me! Wishing you all good things!
Do I understand you correctly? You say that you painted your house with a color that normally fades, then brushed on a acetone melted Styrofoam glaze, which is invisible with no weirdness added to the appearance of the paint job. Then, the paint job has showed zero signs of any fading or other degradation for 10 years?
1. Is this correct?
2. What color?
3. What minor appearance changes happened immediately after using the Styrofoam glaze, and what minor changes in appearance happened over the next few years?
4. How much did it cost you extra per 100 sq feet, or 3x3 meter squared.
5. Where was this house? What is the latitude and climate?
6. To which direction was the front of the house facing - North, South, East, or, West?
7. Did you leave a control area (unglazed) no treated on the critical sides of the house that you are impressed with, and how did those areas fade?
8. What was the exact brand + grade + paint sheen of paint that you used before you Styrofoam glazed it? If you can tell us too about the chemistry, it might be helpful (acrylic, vinyl).
9. What is the history of the the past paint jobs? Color, fade, etc.
10. What surface preparation tools (psi, tips, chemicals, sanding tools, speed of the tool, grit and resin type of the sandpaper, primer steps? This question is the least relevant, since the surface preparation is not going to affect the fade of the pigment. Only chalking paints, over a chalking finish, might fade less due to a slower chalking rate. However, chalking paints have been discontinued for 2 or 3 decades, because people did not understand that chalking eliminates peeling at the expense of limiting the paint job to 10 years and chalk washing down onto the foundation or lower brick. A chalking paint will develop gradual ghosting as it ages. It requires tsp and a focused big power washer for the repaint to get all of the necessary chalk off before recoating, every 10 years. But this avoids a basket case of paint chips and 3 of blasting followed by 3 days of sanding, followed by 3 days of resurfacing with a primer and spot patching, every 14,18, 21 or 28, years, depending on how much condensation comes from inside the house (insulation, oil primed interior walls, bathroom ventilation, gutter leaks, plumbing leaks, storms on the windows in the winter, vent plugs in the siding) .

@@ВладимирАндреев-у3ш в бутылке что за жидкость?кислота или ацетон?
@@ВладимирАндреев-у3ш you are asking, I believe, if his glaze makes the house any cooler in the summer. In engineering science terms, we are talking about emissivity, which is the rate for which a paint absorbs and releases infrared radiation, which will impact the summer and winter temperature gained or lost.
His Styrofoam is melted and will not offer the traditional Styrofoam insulation, which is not due to the polymer, but rather the air bubbles trapped in the traditional Styrofoam polymer. This is why a huge piece of Styrofoam melts into a tiny amount of Styrofoam glue. Mostly air.
My bet is that the paint color and sheen will affect this. The micro layer of Styrofoam glaze is not thick enough to add significant conduction insulation. It would change the sheen. In theory, a Shiney paint will not absorb as much radiation, but will also not release it. What I have observed is that in the summer, the Shiney paint is going to be overwhelmed by the hot sun and cannot release it quickly enough, and the water based paints begin to self strip in a matter of minutes after the glossy paint is applied over a tight flat paint on a hot direct sunny summer day. This leads to a ton of instant bubbles the size of usa quarters all over the house side. The Styrofoam glaze should definitely change the sheen, but I don't know, because I have yet to try it out... I might try it out on a dormer side, where the paint sits against the ice and snow and usually does not last more than 5 years at the most. And isn't that visible and I can play with a pattern for the control against the experiment.
Will need to research the polymers in Styrofoam.
I need a written descriptions of what products used such as what did you use to dissolve the styrofoam.🤷🏻♀️ Please..

Это не секрет, а не делают так, потому, что получающийся в результате растворения пенопласта (пенополиуретана)в ацетоне уретан представляет из себя яд первого класса опасности.

Baking soda & super glue works as well .
That's an interesting alternative you've mentioned using baking soda and super glue. Could you provide more details on how this combination works and in what situations it might be a suitable substitute for other repair methods? Sharing your knowledge could be helpful for viewers looking for different DIY solutions.
Лучше растворить пенопласт в какой-то ёмкости до концентрации и состояния густой шпаклёвки и потом использовать для ремонта.

Might as well get some plumbing sealant and just jump to the step where you cut a small bit off the pipe and slip it on. I don't know what you have in the dropper but either way you might have to buy something.
That’s actually a really good tip, I have another idea too that works well on pipe. You just replace it and do it the right way. Wtf
Супер.Вы большой молодец.
If you can put something inside so that the foam doesn't get too much into the tube, that would be great

Как ремонт на время, чтобы устранить течь отлично, но как на постоянку не очень, все равно лучше заменить на целы кусок, ну или использовать стекломат и эпоксидную смолу

Welcome to my channel! Wish you have moments of comfort and fun while watching the video! You may be a bit surprised by my use of foam and super glue to repair PVC pipes. This is a new idea that has never been implemented before. The purpose of my experiments with plumbing is to give people a new perspective. You may find it difficult to accept this right away. But if you have any other ideas with foam or PVC pipes, feel free to share them with me! Thanks a lot! Wishing you health, success and happiness
Or just replace the T section for pence. Would have been quicker as well 🤦🏽
Could you explain whats going on? I see the styro melting and im confused as to how its hardening again strong enough to resist a full blown gushing pipe.

Super👍 glue is costly comparing to pvc pipe fittings
This is very cheap but its time consuming.. instead just use m-seal and be done
I appreciate your feedback! You're right that using M-seal can be a quicker solution for some tasks. However, I like to explore different methods in my videos to give people options based on their preferences and resources. It's all about finding the right balance between cost, time, and effectiveness. Have you had any experiences, good or bad, using M-seal or similar products for DIY projects?
@@tipsunknow I've use hot glue, 2 part permanent metal & plastic repair glue, m-seal, PV-seal, and also used the same type of cpvc pipe by melting it using soldering iron 😅...
Out of all these, hot glue was the least durable... Melting a similar pipe was cheapest because I got the piece of pipe for free..
Metal and plastic repair glue was the most expensive but permanent tension free solution, m-seal was the fastest, easiest, cheapest and durable enough solution!
This method could be applied to other situations. I have just broken a side mirror on a golf cart. It broke at the plastic part of the mounting. I used epoxy to put it back in place and I wonder if it could be bolstered using superglue and polystyrene foam. The point where the joint snapped off was structurally weak.
Certainly, you can try combining super glue and polystyrene foam to reinforce the strength and durability of the connection. It may help keep the side mirror stable and safer. However, be sure to carry out this process carefully and meticulously to ensure the stability and safety of the side mirror. Good luck with the repair!
I like it 🙏 for sharing

Very good: Do you think this will work with the kitchen drain pipe on the base of the P trap? What glue are you using?
What do you think of using putty?
I appreciate your interest! The method shown in the video might work for the kitchen drain pipe, but it's essential to choose the right materials. The glue used should be suitable for the type of pipes you're working with, and it's a good idea to follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
Regarding putty, it can be used for sealing joints in plumbing, but it's typically applied around threads and connections to prevent leaks. The choice between glue and putty depends on the specific situation and the type of pipes and fittings you're working with. Always ensure that the materials you use are compatible with your plumbing system. If you have more details about your project, feel free to share, and I can provide more specific advice!

Cool video...
Just wondering if the styrofoam would have a chemical reaction with the pvc pipe ...
As cables should not be in contact with polystyrene (styrofoam) for this reason....
Thank you very much for your comment! I combined the foam with the pvc tube and found that it did not react at all! You can try to know more! If you have anything, please share it with me
