RE: Out of round PVC



The short answer is, I doubt there's an easy way to restore the pipe to
perfect roundness.  Certainly easier to just buy another piece of pipe.  But
the electrons really don't care if the form is slightly oval, unless you're
talking about such a severe squish that corona off of the point of the oval
is an issue.  The only other issue is the disks you plug the ends of the
pipe with.  But assuming you cut/turn them to the correct diameter, it
should be no problem to force the pipe over the disks, perhaps while
counter-squishing the major diameter of the oval at the ends with a large
C-clamp.
