    Just cut back as much as you can and clean the copper and solder away.

    Thanks. The joint is going to be close to a wall, so I'm trying not to strip back too much Pvc as it's good protection in the wall. Just trying to avoid a guey mess ;)

    Someone installed it in a concrete floor slab, probably when they moved the kitchen sink from the original location.
