[cool][#0000ff]I do both. But whenever working on new setups I usually use the single screw rather than PVC glue. It holds just as well and if anything breaks...or needs adjusting...it is easier to reset the screw than to break apart a glued connection or make an entirely new one. Recycling parts is more efficient.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]In most cases the natural friction of the PVC connections will hold everything together. But there are some that need to be kept in exact alignment...like bait riggers...with precise angles, etc. That's when you need glue or screws.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Other connections that benefit from firm fits are wherever there is weight or stress applied on a regular basis. Not good to have a rod or pair of pliers topple into the water because you forgot to check for tightness.[/#0000ff]
