I bought some Gorilla Clear Primaglue for a non-plumbing PVC pipe project. I wanted clear rather than purple, and this was cheaper than buying primer and glue. It is primer and glue all in one. They sell it in purple too.
It did not have the MEK smell. It was thicker than regular PVC glue, and that caused me to pick up a thicker-than-desired layer on the dauber. The pipe pressed into the fitting fine. It felt a little more viscous, and I think it took a little longer to grab. That was good for my purposes. However with the thicker load, excess squirted out, where that would not have happened with conventional. That lead me to the water cleanup thing. Seems to work to an extent. I don't know how the water cleanup thing is going to be compatible with pressure plumbing.
I tried one joint by just putting glue on the fitting and not the pipe. Did not slide in so well, and I had to apply extra force. Based on length, it seated as far as I can tell. Next time I might try using a Q-tip to apply the glue rather than the dauber on the can.
I am not offering a conclusion. Just thought I would share my impression. http://www.gorillapvc.com/
