Building homemade herring/bait tanks...

How do you guys secure the PVC fittings to the barrels? The pvc cement doesn't seem to work. Is there something else that works better?

Gunner,
Try threaded bulkhead fitting with neoprene or rubber gaskets.  This will allow you to use a threaded pipe right up to the barrel.  If you use vinyl hosing, just slip it over a close nipple and clamp it off with a standard hose clamp.  Warning!  DON'T OVERTIGHTEN THE BULKHEAD FITTING!  Hope this helps ya   -Barleydog
