nope, sorry dude you're screwed. once you prime and glue pvc it basically is welded together and becomes one peice, not two peices glued together. i dont' know what the application is but maybe you can cut off whatever mistake you made and fix it with a fitting like a coupling or something, i've had to do that before.
