A method of joining pipes comprising overlapping the circumference of a pipe end (21) with a larger diameter cylindrical fitting (22) to make a close radial fit, applying adhesive (A) having a viscosity in the range from 0.5 to 200 centipoises to the edge of the overlap, allowing the adhesive to be drawn between the pipe and fitting, and thereafter curing the adhesive. A particularly suitable adhesive for use in the method comprises a heat curable adhesive composition comprising an epoxy resin, a curing agent, a reactive diluent and a wetting agent, the said composition having a viscosity in the range from 0.5 to 200 centipoises. <IMAGE> |
