This is the same as my experience...you'll be revisting this sooner rather than later. I've had better luck just cutting a section out with a hacksaw and replacing it with a sleeve made specifically for joining tailpipes. You bascially buy a small length of tailpipe with an ID equal to the OD of your existing pipe. They even make a flexible one for curved sections like yours. They sell them at any chain auto parts store. It can be slid over one piece then slid back to cover the breach and clamped using two muffler clamps. I replaced the resonator on one of my 220Sb cars with this method and had no trouble.
