It primed the pipe.
Primed the pipe well for glue.
Reseal lid tightly and store only upright.
Would RecommendProduct was good and did what its supposed to do. The lid seal however did not reseal properly and leaked almost all its contents when accidentally stored not upright. My fault for not ensuring upright storage but still.
