what else can I use?

A T connection in my sump will not seal properly using silicone caulk. I have attempted to seal it twice. Is there a material I can use to wrap around this section to stop the leak? It is not easy to get to now that everything is put together. Hopefully picture attaches for you to view.:frustrat:

You can't take it apart? I would have recommended using PVC primer and glue in the first place. I suppose you could try teflon tape too.

But I'll be the first to admit, I've got pretty much zero skills when it comes to DIY and home improvement stuff. You're probably better off waiting for someone more "masterful" than me to answer!

you need pvc primer and cement this is what the cement is. it welds the plastic together so no leaks http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=232592-13188-RH-RHBV-QP&lpage=none

daugherty is correct
take it apart
i would recomend trashing the pieces with silicone on them and getting new ones, since they are very inexpensive
buy a small can of pvc primer and pvc glue

Yeah, I figured it would be best to get all new parts and re-do. OK!!! I will do it and if it worked, you won't hear from me. Thanks
