Welcome to our forum.
Just letting the epoxy cure then its time to fill the tub and hope for the best! One other kind of leak I came across was around a jet housing. The silicone that was there had come loose and was leaking where the pipe meets the tub shell. I removed the jet wall fitting (the piece that threads into the jet housing) to get at the area. What type of sealant should I use there? The same silicone that was there before? Heres a photo.
Good points all!on point 3 I think he was referring to the chemicals in the water having a long term affect on the glued fittings---I would guess from your response that no mfg'r has come up with a glue that works
Let's see---glued fittings fail, glue was regulated and certain toxins were eliminated, the new formula glue still eventually leaks--and is said here not to be a good as previously, mfg'rs have resorted to "Positive" attachment's in lieu and in league with glue, leaks still occur----how is my "Guess no mfg'r has come up with a glue that works"---wrong? (I reserve the right to rethink this issue)andThe chemicals are in the water---the water--laced with chemicals---is in the fittings---how can there not be an effect--for every cause there is an effect.?I don't agree.
