I’ve used the 1 step oatey fusion. The tank has been running over 2 years with no issues at all. I would recommend cleaning the joints with acetone prior if you aren’t using primer. I love that it’s clear so you don’t get the purple leakage!

That’s why I’m asking. Never used this product and wasn’t sure.

Curious to see if others have used it, but it worked great for me! Good luck!

I used it along with standard primer and glue. I keep the single around for any small projects or repairs. Like @Zbryant said, never an issue.

I have used it on two tanks. The first one went great. the second one I did have a some tiny leaks I had to address. The second project was eight plus months later. I used the left over cement. I feel that the older glue set too fast. There was no push it in and a quarter twist... I barely got it pushed in before it set.
That being said, just buy what you can use in probably one month. I used it on sch80 and it worked well.
