Is there a PLASTIC PIPE ADHESIVE remover?

nope sorry. once its on it creates a chemical bond/seal that cant be removed. cut it out and put in a coupler. thats the best and easiest thing to do.





if u have the glue on something else try goof off or mineral spirits to loosten it up. u may need to use a little elbow greaseIs there a PLASTIC PIPE ADHESIVE remover?
laquor thinner may do it. sand paper will for sureIs there a PLASTIC PIPE ADHESIVE remover?
PVC Cement and ABS Cement are just the resin of the polymer that you want to connect dissolved in a mixture of Acetone, MEK and a few other solvents, so to redissolve the adhesive you would apply a mixture of Acetone and Methyl Ethyl Ketone to it and wait for it to soften, then scrape away any that is partially dissolved and reapply. If you are trying to seperate a joint in the pipe, don't bother, it won't work. But, this is a perfect solution if you did something like drip the adhesive onto a countertop or onto the floor. If this is the case I would recomend scraping away all you can without damaging the underlying surface, then apply the solvent and scrape the drip and continue until you have a clean surface. Just be careful about the surface that you are cleaning it off of, if it is a solid-surface countertop, Corian etc., the solvents might damage the underlying surface, so test the solvent in an inconspicuos location first.
