Pipe Mud - the Miracle Salvage Compound

[Mister Moo]

Too late. I'm a man of action.

Damn it, Jim! I'm a pipe repairman, not a doctor.

And a man of action. Bravo. I have assumed pipe mud hardened from curing under pretty high heat so my feeling is that gasket will crumble, probably sooner than later. Happy to be wrong, please keep us posted on what happens. Also, if that is water/moisture around the leftover stuff and the patch on the pipe I'd say the stuff was way too wet. When I did mud too wet it always crumbled.
