Project Oops! PVC plumbing question.

[Boots]

I was plumbing the returns to my new 210 gallon the other day and In two places I forgot to apply pvc primer.

I had copious amounts of glue/primer on one end, and apparently I forgot to primer the inside of the pipe or vice/versa.

I'm just wondering if the pvc cement will work in the long run with no primer on one end before I stuck it in.

This is going to be a pressure application on the pipes..

Has anyone done this before?

You'll be fine.

The pressure generated in aquarium systems is very low, which is why it isn't going to matter.

We never needed it before it was invented.

LOL isn't this the case with most things?

You guys will think i am nuts but, I had the the reverse, problem. I spilled my glue so I thought hum lets use just primer, never a leak, and It was impossible to take the pvc apart.
