Hi, I'm making a greenhouse frame with 3/4" Sch 40 PVC pipe, and I cannot figure out how to dry-fit these pipes into the fittings so that they are secure, but can easily be disassembled. I don't have any high-tech devices or power tools, so I'm really looking for a simple, low-tech way to solve my problem.
I've tried using metal files, diamond files, and Dremel sanding drums on the insides of the fittings, but they really come out uneven and I've already ruined a couple fittings so far.
I do have access to a miter saw: could cutting long slots in the ends of the pipes work? I'm hesitant to do anything to the main pipes, and I'm really not sure what any other options I might have.
Thank you, I greatly appreciate any advice!
