OK, I'm working on putting together my first WC setup.
QUESTION: What's the best way to get plastic tubing to stick in copper elbow's that are just the right size for the tubes to fit inside (plenty of room to minimize flow loss). My father-in-law said that blue RTV silicone will work, but I'm thinking that it's not solid enough (flexes too much for the fittings to hold) Don't bother telling me to go buy anything right now, I'd love to just go pick up some marine goop, but I have NO MONEY!! that is $00.00 to spend. Will Blue RTV work, or do I have to wait untill I have money to spend to buy marine goop, or is there some type of epoxy that will work? (he has 20-30 different types of glues and epoxy's sitting around)
Any suggestions?
