Leaking Boss clamp

[zebedee2001]

Hi All,

Fitted a new boss clamp to my 1970s plastic vertical soil pipe. Unfortunately it has a weeping leak & as the new boss clmap is in the kitchen & the toilet/bathroom is upstairs I don't particular like the liquid leaking out.

I used a Floplast boss from Screwfix & used Flowplast solvent cement. I cleaned both the boss & pipe with meths prior to fitting. I may not have used enough solvent cement as not a lot oozed out (certainly not all the way round) when I fitted it.

Have I missed something? I have a new boss clamp. I assume I can remove the old one using the chisel method I have seen mentioned on here but do I need to clean down to a perfect surface again or just remove all the high points?

Any help appreciated!

Roughen up the surfaces, remove as much of the old glue as poss, bit of 120grit, then clean off. Good coat of cement over both surfaces.
