	Since a spudgun is operated at elevated pressures it is absolutely '''critical''' that all joints are properly glued. A proper glue joint not only prevents leaks but also insures the gun can be fired safely. It is highly recommended that you thoroughly read and understand the directions provided with the glue.

 [[Image:primer_cement.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Cans of PVC primer and cement]]'''Solvent welding''' is a method of joining plastic pipe, usually used on [[PVC]] or [[ABS]] to achieve a high strength joint. In the process, the plastic in the joined surfaces is chemically melted, and joins together to a solid piece when the solvent evaporates. A properly made solvent weld will have a pressure rating equal to that of the individual parts. The joints will take some time to achieve full strength, cannons should be left to dry at least 24 hours before use.
