You could soak the parts in CA Glue after they have been cut and formed?
Concerning CA use for stiffening railings. Cutting a CA soaked paper does wear the blade quicker,
but it makes a clean, sturdy cut. It is better to apply the CA, then hit it with a shot of accelerator.
Quickly sand it smooth, as CA tends to cure rather pebbly on paper. And you usually have to treat
both sides.

At least, that is how I do it, and it worked for me.

Your results may vary.
