dripping pvc

Something else to try if you need more substance is to shave some PVC from some unwanted pipe (I use a bodyman's rasp) then mix in some solvent to make a sludge to put on the seam.

You have to work FAST though !

PVC is so cheap I would just buy new PVC and re-do the plumbing. There is too much to lose to worry about saving a few dollars.

Ya the PVC is but the ball gate and spring valve isn't so I would have to reorder them from Australia all for a tiny drip an hour from one elbow

+1, cut out the elbow and use a couple of couplings/unions. Is it accessible? You could always cut and chip out the fitting.

Yes and no it's a 45 in the middle of other 45s to make it a smoother curve I could do it but it's going to be such a b*^%# I'm going to add some glue and see if not it's gotta come out
