Default glue cap

oh and thin wall is hard to find in some areas so get it from ron,it will cost you less than driving all over to find it .this is why i found a better way for me, plus i like the gallon jugs for larger plants like tomatoes

Thanks for the reply Andy. I got some thinwall and the caps are still too big.

I'm going to try some silicon glue first and if that fails I'll try a larger bottle (good suggestion).

I think the caps are polypropylene which is why they are so hard to bind to.

I'll test some PVC cement on the caps to see if the primer eats it away.

Stay tuned!

Found a better solution ... no caps.

When I use the thin wall, the rim on the bottle sits flush on the pipe end. I can use CA glue to bind them with plumbers tape on the threads. Perfect seal.

I'll post pics when I'm done. Thx.
