what glue did you use? I used PVA and it didn't bother him at all and gives out no smell. I have some sewer pipe left over in the garage I think if you want to try again.
I made a wooden brace that fitted inside each end so I had something to attach the bottom and top plate to. Once I'd attached the bottom plate I then ran silicon sealant around the bottom and filled the pipe up a bit with some sand I had around so it weighted the bottom, attached the top, then glued all the bits of old carpet in place with PVA.
