01

Why the pipe objects

Uncured resin can be hazardous, while cured resin becomes a hard plastic solid; neither belongs in wastewater.

02

Do this instead

Follow the product’s curing and disposal directions and use hazardous-waste collection for uncured components where required.

03

Already did it?

Do not add solvent or chemical drain cleaner. Remove uncured material from the fixture without pushing it deeper, then contact a plumber or hazardous-waste program.
