So I messed up a fitting. I did not get the PVC pipe in the coupler far enough before the glue dried. I was able to separate them with a heat gun. I have a new coupler, but can I take the glue off the pipe and reinsert it in the new coupler? Of course the pipe is connected to the rest of the plumbing that I completed a few days ago. I tried scrubbing it with acetone, but you can still see primer and glue and the coupler still will not seat on the pipe fully. Is it critical to seat fully into the coupler all the way to the line in the center of the coupler? Worst case scenario, $10 for new pipe and fittings and an opportunity for more practice
