Marco 400 mortar and PVC

[BackToTheReef]

Does anyone know if the Marco mortar will adhere to PVC? I want to jazz up/hide my PVC eel tubes in my aquascape and create some texture on the inside of the 45s I use as outlets for hermits and such to use to climb out. Figured I could use the Marco mortar and sand to help it blend in.

Anyone ever tried?

Thanks.

Used some yesterday to make a base for frags, so far it seem to hold fine.
for bigger structure i think it will require a few work schedule.

Thanks for the feedback. That's a great idea btw!

Not sure if this would help it stick or not, I would sand the PVC pipe with a heavy grit sandpaper to make it rough. The mortar may stick better.

I was thinking about taking the "sheen" off with some scotchbrite or smoother sandpaper but roughing it up with large grit would work!

I haven't seen that, I'll check it out. Thanks!
