If you can sacrifice the outer part (the U-bend here), it usually can be
cut and carefully peeled off, and the remainder cleaned up for re-gluing.

PVC pipe solvent "welding" is not really welded, just glued with solvent
penetration.


more like fused or "melded" : ) ...no glue or adhesive used.
it's closer to welding than gluing...if you think about it!
