>opening the faucet to reduce pressure in the pipe while the glue dries
Damn I love you fuckers...like why didn't that occur to me? I was also thinking, if I use JB high heat would that be the better choice since it's the hot water valve and she has her water heater set to nuclear scorching burning hot (also told me not to touch that), and do the same rules apply to this as curing many other things like tile grout for instance, where the hotter the environment is the faster it cures and sets? Or should I just stick to "Water Weld" instead? Thanks bro.

>pvc pipe in my crawl space that had a pin hole in it. I used JB water weld
Did it cure fast? Like any faster or slower than regular JB, which cures and turns rock solid pretty much instantly imo. Also, what does make the water weld different than the regular stuff? Anything specific? Thanks.

>Valves will break off.
Yeah I'm not only absolutely sure that's the problem but she has this whole thing about me just NOT turning the water off to the house at all. What the fuck is it with vertical valves and why do they just shoot to shit after 10 years? Is there anyway to prevent that? I've run into that problem before and just went ahead and replaced them. Is there like some trick in maintaining them so they last longer? I fucking hate plumbing jobs.

Hey thanks everyone; I wasn't expecting any replies on account of it being New Year's and all. Happy New Year to you all!
