Hi,
I am planning to replace my bathroom countertop. Once it's replaced, I am betting the drain will not lineup.
For me to cut/replace the ABS, I see I have little room to cut and glue a new fitting.

see attached photo.

My question is: Can I lightly sand to ABS pipe where the glue exists from the previous installation to then apply ABS cement and attach a new fitting? and if some previous ABS cement is left on will the new ABS cement just melt it when
attaching a new fitting?

Thank you

I would use hydraulic cement.

Get yourself a bicycle tube, cut a section of it with 2 hose clamps. The tube will fit any size and any direction.

It totally depends. I think you need to measure the dieutectic escutcheon depth of that pipe before you do anything.

Are you using ABS glue or ABS cement?

Are you using ABS glue or ABS cement?

Do you find the glue or the cement stickier????

I like to mix them together, then add a few drops of transition cement, not glue for an extra strong bond!
