Bunker made a thread on these forums about modeling basics and mentions the pro's and cons of liquid poly and poly cement:

The way I use the two - liquid poly is used where you have close fitting parts and is run along the joint after holding the item together, capillary action draws the poly into the gap. Poly Cement can be used to reinforce an assembly by running a bead the insides of a seam.
