: good idea, matt, im gonna make a mini model out of toilet paper rolls.... hahahahaha
To use the pvc glue you want to sand both the inside of the fitting and the pipe you plan to put into it. Then after both have been roughed up apply a good amount into the fitting where the pipe will be and onto the pipe where the fitting will be. This must be done quickly as this glue sets up fast. What you want to do now is kinda tricky you want to push the pipe (or fitting wich ever is easyer to move at the time) HARD onto the other peice while giving it aobut a 1/4 of a turn. At this point you shouldent be able to turn it anymore or pull it back off so make shure that when you turn it, the fitting/pipe is in the correct alignment.
He He insted of doing this we had a local lumber yard loan us the fittings and we take them back to them when we are done with them. We just use 3"wide electrical tape to hold them togetehr (and a big hammer HE HE).
hope this helps
