During the estimate call, my pool guy quoted me close to $200 to cut out and re-plumb a leaking glued PVC joint right at my pump — and honestly that feels steep for what looks like a tiny weeping drip. I picked up a stick of J-B Weld WaterWeld (the 8277 epoxy putty) at Home Depot for about nine bucks, and I'm wondering if I can just knead it up and pack it around that joint myself instead of paying someone else to do it.

My main questions are: will this stuff actually hold against the water pressure a pool pump puts out, and do I need to completely shut the system down and dry the pipe before applying it?
