I need to shave some of the end off of PVC to fit into another thing of PVC. What is the best way of going at this? I have been sanding for hours and it isn't working, and it come out uneven! Help!

I use a dremel when I do that. It is almost impossible to make it perfect, so use a lot of glue.

Aye, dremel.
If you don't have one, use progressively smaller tools. Hacksaw>Pocket Knife>Coarse sandpaper.
It's also very important you're using coarse (low #) sandpaper. I'm guessing this is a problem, because I can sand PVC with 50 or 100 in no time, and you've been going for hours with no progress.

It's next to impossible to get the PVC perfectly right. Your best bet is to out it on a flat surface and work it against and belt or drum sander.
I hate you.
