So I gave Oatey a call and I was really surprised how helpful the guy was. He said it will act like a "filler" as it hardens and will initial hold the pipe together but as it expands and contracts over time it will cause leaks as the purpose of the cement is to melt the plastic together. (Pretty much what fkshiu said) He of course would not recommend leaving it that way, plus the color of the cement are very different which could lead to denial if a claim was ever made. I'm going to bite the bullet and redo it, if not just for the peace of mind. I really do appreciate all you help everyone!
