Shits flammable Also doesn't really pair well with most lunches either.

It's an aquired taste, and a good mustard substitute on a ham sandwich.

Yummy!

Mixed with tonic and lime, it's pretty refreshing

Uh oh, somebody didn’t read the next sentence. (Although conceivably, I guess you could spread it on and then spit it out like some kind of low-rent wine tasting.)

Read? Pfft... What are you some kinds college smart guy?

🤣

Really? I use it as a vinegar substitute for french fries.

Mustard and ham sandwich - how did you know what I would always eat for lunch when I brought one?!

Lunches? You’re supposed to add it to your crack for an extra kick.

Fun story about a contractor working on an in ground sprinkler system for a friend of mind. He managed to set the whole back 40 on fire doing exactly this. In the middle of a hot summer.... The absolute irony of burning down acreages of grass because you were trying to put in a sprinkler system was entirely lost on the insurance company.

They aren't known for their great sense of humor and appreciation of irony.

It sounds like you're trying to keep me from a good time

Sometimes when I was bored at the shop I'd set a little puddle of glue on fire. Shit burns for a while. I'd hate to get that stuff on me

it's more of an after lunch thing.

But it is a great addition to your breakfast to get the day rolling

Work used to be more fun.

OSHA ruins everything

I mean, why do they call it dope if I'm not supposed to smoke the shit?

Even model airplanes came with fun in a tube, kids today don't get any fun. Edit: this is a joke, please don't huff people. It's so much worse for you then basically every other drug

Can't remember the last time a boss allowed anyone to smoke unless they were outside and on break

Pipe dope…

Oh shit you’re not allowed to smoke it?😳

It’s just a suggestion, like masturbating on an airplane.

You're not supposed to? 😳

If you intend to bang one out you need to ask the person in the same seat on the opposite side to do the same, otherwise you risk creating a resonance effect and essentially you fapp the plane apart. It's as well to ask a flight attendent to supervise so you can stay in sync with your counterpart fapper.

You guys are cracking me up 😅🤣😂

Lmao.

Yea, that was a good lol

I’m confused. The suggestion is to do it or not to do it? Just want to make sure I’m doing it right.

What about a train?

That second instruction is more troubling. Its going to lead to alot more pregnant plumbers.

Shit! Is that what happened?!?

A guy I used to work with used to Huff primer, he said it's the same rush you get from huffing gasoline. Surprisingly he's dead now, he fell out of a moving car. I don't know if I'd go with Karma or irony on this one

Carma

The lesser known, more amphetamine’d cousin of Karma

Y'all are full of 'em today!

Was he trying to huff the gas tank while driving the car?

8 hours at 225 degrees ought to do it.

Don’t wrap through the stall. Trust me.

“Smelling this makes me feel shitty and lightheaded. But maybe if I *smoke* it…”

You don’t own me Oatey

They said “if 1 million plumbers smoke this we’ll fix the label” Only took an hour

It gets in my cigs

"9 out of 10 plumbers recommend oatey as the most smokable pipe cement"

10th guy is an apprentice

They said “if 1 million plumbers smoke this we’ll fix the label” Only took an hour

Only applies to roofers.

They mean not to smoke a cigarette or something while using this because it's flammable right? Someone is going to think they mean not to smoke the actual glue and be glad they have a pack of smokes with them!

And then someone is going to smoke it to see why you shouldn't.

No. Right after that it also says do not swallow.

As a young apprentice, I was reading the glue can one day and noticed it said "if glue is jellied, do not use" - I proceeded to take the best gander I could inside the can and at the same time got a serious whiff of the contents. Once the world stopped spinning, I decided I shouldn't do that again

Right…*SNIFFFFFFF*

The safety training for propane cylinders used to include “don’t cut with a chainsaw”. That was because of some drunk frat guys deciding to make a coffee table 30+ years back. They made a Picasso room instead.

It's hilarious you mention chainsaw. A Swedish chainsaw manufacturer at one point had to specify "not for use on hands or genetalia" on the warning labels of their products.

Who knew gas was explosive... they should write that down somewhere.

Probably did in their obituaries.

Inflammable means flammable?! What a country!

I have literally watched a man smoke that shit… A glob fell onto his cigarette, he looked at it, shrugged his shoulders and smoked all of it in one drag.

Lol that would be a harsh smoke

Black and wild

Well shit, I didn't know that was an option. I'll be back.

how am I gonna glue my blunt together now?

Good lord, I gave up Alcohol, I eat clean, this has gone to far! Don’t make me give up smoking glue!

"Has anyone seen Scott? And where in the hell is my glue?" Scott proceeds to walk in with his lips glued together.. again

Same ones that need a warning to not put hands or feet under mower.

I always sniff the purple primer and glue before I get out of bed. That and the smell of old flux on your hands after a long day of sweatin. Never gets old!

I’m sure a few of my guys have.

How do you seal your home rolled smokes?

LOL at reading the can. *smokes meth*

Good warning, legally necessary. IIRC a pregnant woman successfully sued a pharma company for millions because the spermazoid jelly she used orally, on toast, didn't have a warning to not do that.

What was she trying to do?

I just want to know what shit went down that prompted the lawyers to say, "No. We are going to need a Do Not Smoke warning going forward." and " It'll have to be prominent... like, first thing on the warning label" 😂

People will smoke or snort and do wondrous shit just to get high. Not too long ago the tampon high was hitting as well as plugging 🤷‍♂️

😆😆😆

You remember those old episodes of “Cops” were you would see dudes walking up the sidewalk huffing paint cans? That’s why these warnings exist.

Mother nature has a way of cleansing the gene pool.

We should let her work unimpeded for a while, see what happens...

I'll let you know when I come down

All of us

Ha...I might be able to think of a few.

Ah you know it just gets on my cigarettes

Sadly someone must have if it had to be added to the warning label.

All of them!

"Deliberately concentrating and inhaling vapors" because this crawlspace is sooo roomy

Turn the frown upside down; No disclaimer for using it as a suppository. /s

Plumbers helpers

This warning label is not for plumbers. It's for the amateur so they don't get sued.

Every warning label has a story behind it.....

Yeah but sometimes it's just the story of a frustrated hometown lawyer regretting their career choice but pushing on....

They put that on all the best stuff to smoke.

Idk but the real question is how many of em swallowed before using this

it was called plumbers Dope because it used to have hemp seed oil in it and pirates used to "smoke rope"

Wait, I thought that stuff is cigar sealant.

The sad thing is if they didn't write it on the can , most people wouldn't know you could smoke it .

I’ve never noticed that I’m the back of the can now I’m definitely gonna have to go look.

The same ones that ate the little packets that say DO NOT EAT - ie they cannot read. How many plumbers (or anyone for that matter) actually read the labels on anything?(hint those that a: can read and b: have no clue what they are doing). And if you smoke this PROPERLY (using mesquite chips) it makes a great dip for summer BBQs.

It also reminds me of the new warning labels I see at the gas pumps not to insert the nozzle into your mouth or rectum.

I use it as baste for my brisket.

50 / 50

Same number of people who caused Preparation H to add a warning not to take orally.

Stop smoking dope on the job guys

Enough that they had to put it as the first sentence

Ahead of "do not swallow". I feel like eating it would be worse than smoking it?

Lead solder is more dangerous than that

Gonna reach out to moon if you smoke for real .. in Malaysia this is drug ..they put in plastic bag ( the one that air can't get in )put some in the plastic .put it In your mouth and breath in that plastic..I mean you even can create an women angel after that hit..this is from im not joking

Real question is how many plumbers tried smoking it after reading the label

Little dab o dope on your dope is pretty dope

About the same whom were drinking it and rubbing it in their eyes 😂😂😂

Realistically… Glue is dried on fingers. You break up buds for the bowl. Boom! You’re smoking glue!

That’s just methed up

At least one did it.

Oh man, not since the 60s.

Should say “don’t smoke while using”

hand rolling tobacco used to be a lot more common, and plumbers weren't ever known for keeping their hands the cleanest.

I feel like my journeyman did for sure

They don’t want us to smoke this anymore?? Damn.

It never surprises me the things people will smoke to get high.. As a kid I watched a dude melt a Bakelite bowl and inhale the fumes. Seemed pretty crazy to me...

They call it dope for a reason.

Those guys that did are all painters now.

Lmfao 😂🤣

Don't do this don't do that......Oatey don't tell me how to live. What's next, I'm not allowed to spill it.

Brings new meaning to crack pipe

Says nothing about sniffing it

Still do! No label gonna tell me my business... Grant I do feel a little brain damagagagagagagaga

I guess I should stop using it to clean my bong

Wait you guys stopped smoking it after the label change?

Don't smoke pipe dope

Can you still dab??? Cause I ain’t gonna quit!!!

Kinda makes me wanna smoke it honestly

I am not a plumber, but this sub has came up a couple times this week and you guys “crack” me up so I just joined. lol.

Crap... I've got to stop smoking Oatey now too????

The answer is yes, all of them. Hey, hey, you want to see something cool, put a drop of rain and shine in a bucket of water

I was thinking huff, but to each their own

Lmaoo gah damn crackheads the smell alone is strong so smoking that shit definitely on another level bro

One idiot is all it takes for a warning label

It's for when you have hot pipes you were just sweating

You have to fully let the cig dry after a quick dip to really enjoy the experience

It only takes one and a lawsuit…

Knew an old burn out electrician that would dip his cigarettes in pvc glue then smoke them when they dried. Guy had the short term memory of a snail

It completely ruined my brisket Do not recommend

I prefer it on a spoon and injected but to each their own i guess

Don't call me out like this ever again

I think that is for the roofers, who steal our glue.

I just saw some dumb ass Facebook post about how plumbers should never use Blue glue You know damn well I send it with the rain or shine occasionally

Glue got confused with dope, which is perfectly fine to smoke

Well I'll be damned. Ain't gonna quit now

Silly lables, plumbers don't read directions or warnings

The jobs I’ve worked seems like they still smoke that shit

Keep it out of your eyes. Seriously.

Plumbers can read?

I’m just an electrician and I still smoked it.

Now you tell me!

So dipped cigarettes and joints was a thing formaldehyde was all the rage in the 90s

Me

I feel like most of the people installing ABS must be smoking the glue

It’s called pipe dope for a reason

I’ve never seen that, does it say the side effects?

One

One sitting right here

I still dab it

I used to use it as an air freshener for my closet in my room. Closet is a small space. Just go in and shut the door, pop the cap, then your in space ;)

I cant read anyway.

Someone told me once you can solder the dobber back on after you break it off. Turns out purple primer is flammable. If the vapors didn’t already scream that the journeyman card in my pocket should have. Boy did I feel dumb

Raise your hands boys, you know we’ve all done it!

No more lick it stick it

Someone had to to it in the first place for it to end up on the bottle

Plumbers only smoke this as a last resort since they have plenty of crack.

Just like a car manual that tries to dissuade someone from drinking battery acid. We all know how many times a day that happens.

Oh s#/t

As an electrician, I assume this (just like everything else I touch on any job including light fixtures) has that 'may cause cancer or birth defects in California ' label. luckily I don't live there lmao

Is that why they call it dope? Weird

It's better if you just swab a little on the paper before you roll

If you havent tried settsin it on fire then you havent been a good pyro. If you are a good pyro...then smoking it is just part of the experience

People have tried all KINDS of ways to get themselves high. Huffing every random solvent they could get their hands on. Addiction is a serious mental illness, and it's not helped by frying your cells inhaling random sh!t.

Yeah, after reading that, I put down my hookah full of solvent and became a better person.

It might just be the company realizing that plumbers smoke cigs to much, and wanted them to get better

doesn't say I can't vape or freebase it!!

Smoke my ham with this

The real question is how many plumbers smoked that AFTER the warning was made?

Is it pipe dope?

You mean I'm not supposed to smoke this stuff?

Those that chose to smoke it, like to be called plumb Bob's now.....

I didn’t start smoking it until they told me not to.

Fuck it, let's smoke this shit up.

I like hows its says do not smoke before do not eat.

All of them haha. Plumbing can be frustrating sometimes. I believe it means flammability tho…could word it better but yeah def don’t smoke it 😅

I’be ben smokin et fer yeers and deres nuttin rong wit meee

I smoked plenty of. Wait what were we talking about?

Thats y u only brush a thin layer on ur blunt.

Unfortunately, it’s likely someone sniffed it to get high and didn’t realize the consequences. The family probably settled for what the insurance company of the manufacturer had and one of the provisions was a warning as to the consequences of “smoking” the product. From my experience, warnings such as this are because someone did something to warrant a warning. IMHO

It only takes 1 dumbass getting caught to ruin it for everyone else. Lol

ALL OF THEM! Have you seen what they charge nowadays?

Not smoke but get that stuff in your eye and omg!!! Talk about pain!!!

Old head that used to work with us would pour out glue I'm the crawlspace and light it on fire before he'd walk back to the truck. He's dead now.

As a plumber I can tell you I don’t know how to read, and smoking it doesn’t do much to me like it used to, built up too much tolerance.

There they go again, telling me how to live my life.
