What is the trick to being able to dry-fit PVC fittings before final assembly? I am working with 3" PVC fittings from Lowes, plumbing up the waste line to the new toilet location in our bathroom remodel. I'd like to put the three fittings together and mark them before I get out the cement so that I can be sure the slope of the line is correct and that the closet bend is going to be in the exact right position, height, and level once the cement sets. But, the fittings just don't slide together -- If I really work at it, I can get them seated about halfway, but that's not good enough.
Once I put primer and cement on them, they slide right together and seat all the way, so I don't think there's anything wrong with the fittings.
I only get one shot at this, and if I mess it up I'm going to be cutting into the ceiling and wall in the room below the bath to get at the tee that I ruin on the stack.
