The only reason I resorted to epoxy was because I had damaged the fitting stuck in the wall by using too much heat trying to remove a pipe which was slightly leaking so instead of making a big hole in the wall tried epoxy and it worked...there is not normally any need to use epoxy.

I use epoxy for fittings that are very loose with the blue water pipe. Some of the white or grey fittings are not meant for the standard blue PVP 13.5 pipe, so epoxy fixed that.
