Thanks for testing that for us Dave

Nope not my personal experience
But I thought I would pass it on
It's something you may not think about, but could really ruin your day

There was a guy on RC that posted something about how he dripped some on his floor and his wife was going to be home shortly and kill him. I did like one of the ideas about putting a plant in the middle of the kitchen and that she might not notice

It also makes a nice stain on your carpet.

Stains hardwood floors too.

It sure will!

PVC = polyvinyl chloride

Vinyl is just slang for polyvinyl chloride.

Primer and cement both work by melting the PVC before you fuse the two segments together, so it sure will melt your floor just as easily. In fact, it will melt most plastics.

That's because it instantly disolves the polyeurethane. I've done it to 2 spots on my coffee table...I was so pissed.

Stains hardwood floors too.
