Hello all,
I am putting together a project that was originally designed to be all PVC. During testing, the load bearing part of the PVC failed so now I am trying to replace the load bearing point with wood to make it stronger and less susceptible to cold weather. I will try to explain how the joint is constructed.
The piece that is being replaced was originally a 1/2" PVC pipe. I am now going to use a 7/8" Oak round dowell. One end of the dowell will be inserted into a standard 1/2" PVC slip fitting and must be bonded to this fitting. The other end is inserted into a 7/8" hole drilled into the side wall of a 1" pipe. The hole does not go all the way through the 1" pipe. The end of the dowell will rest against the opposite interior inner wall of the 1" pipe. When in use, the wooden dowell will be in a horizontal position supported to a fixture from the side with the slip fitting. The 1" pipe will be hanging from the dowell with 12' of length below it. There is probably 20-30 lbs of weight that will be supported by the dowell.
So then the question, what kind of glue would be the best to use in this situation?
Thanks in advance.
Jared
