Marine Epoxy on Flex?

[pch90265]

Have sprung a leak in a low-pressure drain line... at the joint between rigid and flex PVCs runs. I have redundant drains, so I can cap this one, turn off a return pump to lower flow, and make repairs on the line with it dry for 24-48 hrs with no worries.

Has anyone ever used marine epoxy on flex??? I'm thinking epoxy is my best bet, since it is a complex drainline I don't want to splice elsewhere to make the repair. Just want to hear success rates before I risk exacerbating the problem.

Thanks,
Sean

I have never used Marine epoxy to fix a leak. I am not sure how well that will do under pressure. Also Not sure how well it will adhere.

Good news is, the line is NOT under any more pressure than the gravity feed of the drain...

Bad news, I don't have any idea how well it will adhere either!

Marine epoxy is like magic on rigid PVC... works wet or dry.
