wc,

Don't know what kind of comment you are looking for or what question you may want answered but I would have done things differently. But you expected that. First the root is still there and will eventually crack the new expensive glue you have applied. I would have removed the root problem and replaced the tee with two mechanical pvc coupling costing less than $10. This is more work but less expensive and a better long term fix. Anyone believe differently? JMHO aloha

And just what part of "there was no replacing it" did you fail to grasp? You would not have "removed" this root problem. No, you would have proposed rerouting the line, at considerable expense.

I did not offer my comment with a view to making a display of my "jakeleg" ingenuity. It was made for the benefit of anyone who may wish to attempt to seal a leak in PVC when other methods (telescoping slip joint, whatever) may not be feasible.

WC,

Just as I suspected. With such an impolite reply, you were just promoting your latest product. Well, I am not sold one bit, especially with a name like whitcap which is the name of a hardware store. JMHO ALoha

Give it a break, already. Repartee is not your long suit.
