Ever use that pvc repair two part mix? I believe IPS corporation makes it. One counter day at the supply house a rep had some. He had butt welded 2 pieces of 2" pvc together. He handed it to me and bet me I couldn't break it. He was right. strong stuff. Check it out.
Just for a joke one time, I cut two pipes with a miter box at a 45 degree angle and glued them together to make a 90 bend.
That was with ABS, and it was amazingly strong.
