Hi, does anyone know of a slow dry/cure solvent cement for ABS waste pipes please?

Got some 50mm floplast ABS waste pipes in a tricky ceiling that will be a pain to get the cement on, line up and push together before the normal solvent cement goes off - in the 15 seconds you get to fit them together. Are there any slower drying products out there?

I emailed Griffon and they said their UNI-100 GT would work on ABS but not to use too much. But now struggling to find it in a small pot.

Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks,
Dave.
 
I don’t know of any sorry you could have a look at the pressure plastic stuff eg the stuff they use for pools as I’m sure that takes 24 hours to go off eg durapipe

Can 40mm solvent ABS (e.g. Floplast) be glued into a 40mm pressure solvent PVC (unknown manufacturer) pipe fitting? They're both solvent based, the Floplast solvent cement says it can glue both ABS and PVC, but can they be glued together?
