    It's basically PVC glue but it's bright blue. I gather it's also more flexible, making it ideal for TigerFlex. Further, you can CLEARLY see (and so can the inspector) that the joint is completely glued. You work with it EXACTLY as you do with clear glue.

    You can see it on the joints around my filter and pump.
    Just a note: Blue Glue is also called Hot Glue b/c it sets up a bit faster (15 secs rather than 30) and CAN be used in wet conditions. Obviously it's preferable to have dry pipe ends, but if that's not possible, Blue's probably your best shot. It's available next to the other PVC glues at any home supply store. Good luck!

    Edit: Product description:
    IPS 725™ Blue, Wet ‘R Dry™ Specialty Pipe Cement is medium bodied, very fast setting (nearly instant bonding) and good for all classes and schedules through 6 inches in diameter (Schedule 80 through 4-inch diameter). This glue is specially formulated for wet conditions or when quick pressurization is desired. It can be used without a primer on systems with fittings having an interference fit unless one is required by local code.
