Purple PVC primer turned pink

purple primer and clear cleaner, are`nt they the same thing ?

never had pink ;)

Settling? Give it a good shake.. Possibly part of the mix settled in the bottom and thickened up?

Never used it myself so these are just guesses.

Never saw it happen, because I never use the primer. It isn't necessary. For that matter, I never use the "PVC cleaner" either. Acetone does just as good a job, and costs about one-tenth as much. All you need to make a good joint is acetone, and PVC cement. Don't worry about the primer. You don't need it.

Advice like this can be counterproductive. I have never seen primer lose its purple.

Many inspectors consider primer as a bare minimum as do glue manufacturers and pvc manufacturers. The whole reason for the gawd awful purple color is for easy identification by inspectors, required in some codes.

Here: No Purple, no pass.
