Default Another Glue Q

I have 2 plastics I need to glue together

ABS pipe which is inserted into Polypropylene cast female sockets.
The fitting is a close fit.

Polypropylene is not an easy item to glue .... thought about using
Loctite Plastic Bonding System (2-part)

It seems capable - but when I Googled the comments were immediate grab,
no repositioning .... which would mean being able to push pipes into
sockets would be a problem.

If it were ABS-ABS then normal solvent would be fine ...but it is no
good on Polypropylene



I don't think superglue will stick well to PP. Might get away with it
provided the clearance really is small. A strategy which I have found
works well in the past is to wind overlapping layers of stretched PVC
tape over the joint. You could do this in addition to glueing.
