my pops whacked something with his riding mower and bent both blades. one I got off with just a box end wrench, didnt even have to pick mower up. just layed on the ground, in the rain, and raised deck to its highest point. aggrivating but do-able. well the other blade would not budge. ok...

while in lowes yesterday my pops picked up a can of cpvc glue instead of pvc glue. The "ingrediants" all all the same except the last line, my question is..... Is there any real difference? will cpvc glue work on pvc? or do I have to throw it away? I have absolutely no need for cpvc.
