Hi,
I'm going to be joining some ABS drain/waste pipes together under my basement floor, and the bottom 1/4 of the pipe will be in water. The water table is still a little high from some recent rains. How sensitive is the ABS cement to water? I'm going to try to lift the ends up, apply the glue and join the ends... but how long should I hold it out of the water? I know it sets quite quickly... but if I put it back under water too soon, will it weaken the join?
Thanks!
