I find it helps when using a product like this, essentially a liquid plastic welding solvent, it helps to first tack the two surfaces together (like two slightly warped fuselage or wing halves) with a CNA glue gel (I prefer the brushible Loctite gel I get from Wal-Mart), mainly applying it at the locating pins and corners. Then I come back with the plastic welder brush (I use the Ambroid product), running it along the inside seams, wicking it along gaps, etc., and using some tape or rubber bands to clamp the parts until it dries.
