How cold can it be before I shouldn't solvent-weld pipes? Or does it not matter?

I don't think it matters how cold it is when you are solvent welding just how cold it is when you are shooting.

Cool, you should make a how-to. Or atleast document the building.

yeah, It should be fine. I glued last week in thirty-somthing degree weather, and was fine (I let it cure for 2-3 days)

I probably will document the building- because I'm too impatient to wait till it's done to post!

It ended up costing almost $250 :shock:

I ordered some from McMaster and some from Sprinkler.com
