John's right. If the parts don't mate perfectly, you may well NEED 
some reinforcement.

There are plastic solvent cements available (check the hobby shop) 
that make very strong welds in and evaporate in seconds but you have 
to have a clean, solid joint to start with. And they will mar 
exterior finishes.
