In this video we are testing the bond strength of five different PVC glues. They are Azek, Versatex, Oatey Fusion, Oatey Regular PVC Cement, and a cyanoacrylate [Super] glue called 2P-10. The results were NOT what I expected!

Respect to @ProjectFarm for the data-driven methodology, and inspiration.

Excerpt from Versatex Technical Bulletin B-3:
[Bonding
When bonding VERSATEX to itself or another PVC material, most standard PVC pipe cements perform well especially those that are solvent based. Care should be taken to assure the substrates are clean and dry. Also, cements with moderate to slow setup time are preferred. When bonding VERSATEX sheets to themselves to obtain a thicker product, longer adhesive cure time will be required. Extreme Adhesive PVC TrimWelder Laminating Grade is an ideal product for this application. Through independent testing VERSATEX has identified a few adhesives and sealants that provide outstanding PVC bond strength (see chart on the next (2) pages). Although most cyanoacrylates (super glues) are excellent for bonding VERSATEX to itself, they are prone to breakdown when subjected to a moist environment. Adhesive and sealant formulations vary with each manufacturer. Performance is dependent upon the application. Therefore,each adhesive and sealant should be tested in the field on a small sample of VERSATEX to determine compatibility before being placed into use.]
