There are slow setting glues that give you 30 or 40 seconds, if one
needs it.

If you're not familiar with the process ASK for help. You glue & put
together PVC you have 10 seconds to change your mind. It locks that
fast. I've done lots of joints but I ALWAYS dry fit to be sure I've
cut the tubing the proper length. You lose 1/2 '' inside every joint.
When I need ells & elbows I mark a line on both pieces so I can align
them correctly. You only have a very few seconds to align. I don't
bother with the purple primer. The new all purpose glue doesn't
require it. I plumbed my new house 14 yr.s ago. Both water & waste.
Only problem with the 3'' & 4'' is the weight handling vs. the smaller
PVC when working with it. It's just bigger & takes more planning.
There's an old carpenters axium: measure TWICE & cut ONCE. I always
feel the ends. They can have no burrs. Gently sand rough spots. For 1
1/2'' PVC or smaller a $5 PVC cutting sissors makes life easier.
