Used PVC cement on black (ABS?) pipe on a trailer while gluing in a Drain Master flange. Cement is P-8 Nutone PVC Cement (ASTM D-2564). Joint looked good put didn't stress it. Will it hold? If not, what now? (just another example of gaining 'experience' by doing stupid things--great fun getting 'smarter')

Thanks

Try to pull the joint apart. If it's tight you'll probably be OK. Next time use Oaty All purpose PVC and ABS cement. http://store.watergardenweb.com/pvcabscement.html
