Therte it is! Thanks Ron

I had a GD leak after several attempts to install it. Found a slimy film on it and washed it off, stoped the leaking.

PVC primer cleans anything....

PVC primer also removes that pesky printing on fancy wallpaper. That was one expensive little dribble.

On fiberglass shower enclosures I have found that plumbers putty will eventully crack and flush out causing leaks around the drain. I will replace the drain and seal with clear silicon. no leaks

Most fiberglass tubs call for silicon on the drains. I can see it being a real PITA trying to change a trip lever with the drain glued to the tub. I haven't had to change one which has been glued on yet but I'm sure I'll find out eventually.
