blue plastic pipe glue

[michaelf]

we just had some plumbing done and the plumber slopped the blue glue on some painted metal surfaces, I would like to remove it as it looks just sloppy and poor craftsmanship, does anyone know how to do this? thanks everyone

mineral spirits or acetone maybe? Test a spot first as you don't want it to remove the paint on the metal...

It should scrape off of metal,sounds like wet set pvc cement.

The blue glue might scrape off, if it's purple primer the only thing I've had success with is the clear primer/cleaner.

 

[michaelf]

yes, I think you are correct, wish I could remove it, sloppy job, **** work.

MEK, Toluene, Acetone? One of those is the main ingredient in purple primer and outta soften and remove the glue.

If it doesn't leak who cares?
Being **** is not necessary
it's just plumbing

Not a plumber ,are ya?

primer and glue seem to have a mind of their own .no matter how hard you try Mr. Murphy says it WILL drip

you are correct it must be glue as I could scrape most of it off with my thumbnail, stain left on the paint, yes I am fussy
