Hello i was installing some solar on my pool and i got some purple primer on my filter and some other parts. How do i get this darn stuff off of things. i tryed paint thinner but didnt seem to work. Let me knwo if anyones had any luck with products??
If you find anything that removes it, let us all know. This primer actually starts a chemical action so the pipe and fitting are basically welded together with the glue. I have found nothing that will remove it.
That purple PVC primer/cleaner can be scrubbed off of some things (like your hands) IF it is scrubbed off while still wet.
Once it dries, it's purple forever. LOL
I suppose that it could be sanded off with fine grit sandpaper, if someone really felt the urge.

Buy another bottle of primer and a paintbrush.... at least it won't be spotted purple anymore :yes: I can solder copper just fine but I'm like a kid with fingerpaint when it comes to PVC welding.... purple everywhere!
Paint over it. PVC is not sunlight resistant and the new paint will help it last.
